Emily GreenhalghScience StorytellerEMILY GREENHALGH is an award-winning marine biologist-turned-science communicator and the author of two kids' science activity books. Her work has been featured in USA Today, the Boston Globe, Gizmodo, the World Meteorological Organization, and in science textbooks in at least three languages. She is currently the Senior Manager of Editorial at The Jackson Laboratory.
She grew up in Rhode Island, staring into tide pools and dreaming about becoming a mermaid. Realizing that wasn't an actual job, she trained to become a marine biologist and then a science journalist. Emily has a master's in science journalism from Boston University and a bachelor's degree in marine biology from the University of Rhode Island. She has worked on commercial fishing boats, for federal and nonprofit institutions, and has led multiple cross-agency social media efforts. She also thinks you should know that, technically, both "octopi" and "octopuses" are correct. She loves discovering what makes research exciting, turning complex science into easy-to-understand stories, and helping scientists share their passions. Emily is the author of three kids science books with Penguin Random House / Z Kids. Fun with Oceans and Seas (2023), Fun with Outer Space (2024), and Bug Explorers! A Bug Book for Kids, which will be released October 2025. |
I do a little bit of everything.
Science is complex and so are its stories. There isn't one way to communicate, so
I work hard to find an audience and share the stories any way I can.

From magazine features and press releases to strategic communications planning
and digital social media strategy, I've done it all.
