Heather Buschman's profile
What I do
Disclaimer: Comments and opinions expressed on this site do not necessarily reflect that of my employer.
I am the Scientific Writer & Liaison for the Consortium for Functional Glycomics (CFG), located at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif.
My job is to provide a medium for communication within the Consortium and between the Consortium and the scientific community. I do this by writing The Consortium Quarterly newsletter, writing highlights of recent publications resulting from Consortium resources, helping out with meetings of the various Consortium stakeholders, and keeping our funding agency up-to-date with our progress.
