Rowena Lindsay (she/her)

is a Boston-based science and tech writer with experience in daily news reporting, editing, and academic communications, as well as video and radio production.

She is passionate about crafting compelling stories and communicating clearly with a wide audience. She begrudgingly loves the pressure of a deadline and unabashedly loves learning new things. Her journalism is motivated by a lifelong interest in education as a way to empower people to make informed decisions in all aspects of their lives.

Rowena graduated from Northeastern University School of Journalism and currently works as a script writer and multimedia producer for MIT. She particularly enjoys writing about environmental justice, health, and space. If she can weave gender equity and/or voting access into the story, all the better — like when she wrote about astronauts voting from the International Space Station.

She is also a graduate student at Boston University’s School of Public Health where she studies health communication, epidemiology, and biostatistics. As an MPH candidate, she has many interests—such as how proximity to fossil fuel infrastructure influences reproductive health and how sexual violence can be a risk factor for other adverse health outcomes.

Outside of business hours, you can find her hiking, practicing yoga, planning hypothetical roadtrips, buying and sometimes also reading books, and trying not to look at her phone 24/7. One day she plans to start writing just for fun, but probably not today.
