Hi, I’m Dan Richards-Doran.
I’m a senior science communications specialist, science writer, and executive coach “in-training.”
I’m dedicated to supporting researchers and research organisations to better utilise communications to unlock the potential of their work and their people.
My approach is to apply tried and tested communications and public relations theories and frameworks, alongside my 18 years’ experience as a communications professional.
Before offering my services as an independent consultant, I managed communications and engagement programmes for several well-known scientific institutions in the UK.
I originally trained as a scientist, I’m an experienced writer, and I have postgraduate diplomas in science communication and public relations.

Dan has given us some very useful insights into how we can communicate the impact of the research and the capacity development from the programme.
