Katherine Brind'Amour

Hello -

I am a recent graduate of the Masters in Biology program at Arizona State University, and happy to be writing for Suite101.com! My articles focus on a variety of topics - from writing a thesis to planning a picnic. I have experience writing on scientific and health issues, but I also love incorporating my interest in food and fun into the articles I write, so everything is fair game. Feel free to request an article on a particular topic if you would like me to write something on it.

I just started a blog at WordPress.com - check it out for articles, links, videos, recipes, and news based on pregnancy, human development, nutrition, and more!

I was previously a writer for an online academic, peer-reviewed encyclopedia called the Embryo Project. Most of my work there has focused on the history of Catholic thought on human development and abortion, new stem cell technologies, key contributors to embryology, and ethics regarding beginning-of-life issues.

My research for my MS degree and for my other writing largely centered around pregnancy, fertility, and prenatal care. I implemented an intervention at a local pregnancy center to determine whether improved prenatal education can be correlated with better birth outcomes. One of my articles on the importance of early development for lifelong health can be found at The Triple Helix website.

Please enjoy reading my articles on Suite101. Tell me what you think, and happy browsing!

Katie :)
