Jessica McKendrick is a postgraduate MSc Science Communications student at the University of Glasgow, with a foundation in Human Biology. Her literary interests, specifically poetry and prose, have led her to consider the intersect of creative writing as a means of scientific communications. Her work draws inspiration from lyrical prose to craft evocative imagery and emotional textures of complex medical realities; shaping creative narratives that deepen public understanding and empathy.
