Meet Emily Greenhalgh
About me
Emily Greenhalgh is a marine biologist-turned-science communicator at Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA.
Emily has nearly a decade of science writing experience behind her, 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 led multiple cross-agency social media efforts. |
Prior to joining the MBL, Emily was Senior Science Writer at the New England Aquarium's applied research center—the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life. Prior to that, she spent four years as science writer and social media coordinator for NOAA Climate.gov. Emily worked as web editor and technology reporter for Providence Business News prior to that. She has been a contributing writer with the USGCRP's National Climate Assessment, Bioengineering Today, MassDevice.com, The Royal Gazette newspaper, and 41 N Magazine. The Atlantic's CityLab called her piece on Climate and Lobsters "insightful commentary."
Her multimedia work has been featured by USA Today, the Boston Globe, the World Meteorological Organization, and Gizmodo, among others, and appears in various science text books in at least three languages.
She loves discovering what makes research exciting, turning complex science into easy-to-understand stories, and helping scientists share their passions.
She is seeking representation on ABCs of Scientists, a picture book that teaches kids about 26 exciting science careers from Astronomers (who study stars and galaxies) to Zoologists (who study critters great and small). Emily is also collaborating with fellow BU alum Arezu Sarvestani on a series of books explaining complex scientific topics to young kids.
Emily enjoys rock climbing, puzzles, and putting cheese on things. She lives on Cape Cod with her husband, their three dogs and one semi-tolerant cat.
