I’m Brittany Trang, a scientist-turned-science-journalist excited about helping people understand science and how it impacts them.

I am a healthcare business reporter at STAT News. Previously, I covered health and science at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Mass Media Fellow and was a Sharon Begley Science Reporting Fellow at STAT. My freelance work has been published places like Undark Magazine, Chemistry World, Chemical & Engineering News, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and Billboard Magazine.

I have a bachelor’s in English and chemistry from the Ohio State University and a PhD in chemistry from Northwestern University, where I worked with Prof. William Dichtel to develop per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remediation methods.
