This week’s episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast delves deep into the world of scholarly writing with an insightful chat featuring two distinguished guests: Sarah Poynton, PhD, and Rachel Walden, MS, ELS.

Dr. Poynton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular and Comparative Pathobiology with the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She provides training and diagnostic support in parasitology.

Rachel Box is the Director of Editorial Services and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery with Johns Hopkins. She is a board-certified editor in the life sciences.

Rachel had previously joined us for an interview called “Habits, Hacks, and Editorial Services” and you can revisit that episode here. This is Dr. Poynton’s Faculty Factory Podcast debut, and we are excited to have her join the show.

Whether you’re a seasoned scholar or just embarking on your academic journey, this episode will serve as an enriching discussion with essential tips and principles of effective scholarly writing.
