Hello there, I’m Sarah McLusky

Sarah McLusky

I believe that research can make the world a better place. But for research to have impact it needs to reach the people who can benefit from it. I can help you with that! I can help you communicate your research. I can help you connect with research partners. I can help you collaborate and co-create effectively and equitably.

I have been ‘research-adjacent’ for over 25 years. I have worked for universities and research projects, science centres and museums, learned societies and education providers.

Although my academic background is in plant pathology/biochemistry, I have worked across a huge range of disciplines including all the sciences and, more recently, arts, humanities, and social sciences. I love learning about new subjects, and meeting new people.

The common thread running throughout my career is making research more accessible and helping other people to do the same. My superpowers are seeing the big picture, solving problems and making things happen. Most importantly I help people to shine. I create and hold spaces where people can connect with each other and with themselves.

I’m originally from Scotland, but I now live in beautiful Whitley Bay in North East England with my partner, daughter, dog and two cats. I am also a yoga teacher, festival go-er, mediocre runner, and occasional sea swimmer. That said, I spend a fair amount of time on trains. I regularly travel for events around the UK and even further afield. I host international events online too.

Visit my Portfolio page to see some of the projects I’ve worked. You can also see my CV on LinkedIn and hear me talk about my career in this podcast.
