Will Xiao

Will Xiao received his PhD from the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University, where he focused on the primate visual cortex using tools from deep learning. An avid reader of popular science since childhood, Will is passionate about scientific writing that resonates with a broad audience. An equally ardent coder, Will believes that clear writing, whether directed to a computer or a reader, has common principles (as in, for example, “The Zen of Python”). In addition to his postdoctoral work in the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, Will is excited to help graduate students better communicate their science.
