In 2011 I finished my Discover internship and freelanced with them.
I started my internship at LiveScience, which turned into a staff writer position after nine months. While I was an employee, I produced 2 to 3 stories per day from published studies, including fully reported embargoed and enterprise articles and reported stories from scientific conferences.
