Anand Devasthanam is a Medical Writer in the USA, but is posting these videos in his personal capacity. Any views expressed are his alone and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of his employer.

Science communication is the communication of scientific concepts and ideas to the general public. It’s about translating the language of science to a language that all of us can understand. Anand’s goal is to share stories and inspire communicators to take an active interest in narrowing the communication gap between scientific innovation and the general public.

Leveraging his experience in publications strategy, regulatory affairs guidelines and requirements, and specialized writing, Anand continues to believe that individuals with a strong academic foundation and competitive skill sets may offer much to the quality of the world we live in, and its continuous development.

Anand’s core competencies include reviewing regulatory documents (IND applications, clinical and non-clinical summaries, investigator’s brochures), managing projects and datasets, leading team meetings and communicating complex scientific and technical knowledge to a diverse audience.
