Liz Scherer

I am a health and wellness/cannabis journalist and content producer with a strategic eye, and a Swiss Army Knife ability to meet any challenge put in front of me.

Above all, my true passion lies in helping audiences connect strategically with their stories, stories that allow them to flourish, optimize care, grow, and develop. My career has taken me on many pathways with writing and communications as a framework. Moreover, my interests are as varied as my skills toolbox. I am interested in the intersection of health and social equity, as well as enriching data reserves for ethnic/minority groups. In addition, I am forever intrigued by the intersection of/influence on, tech and healthcare. Finally, a lifelong women’s advocate, I have worked to develop stories around reproductive justice, midlife health changes, preventing online violence against women and more recently, as a voice for women who are finally brave enough to speak out against sexual assault.

Currently, I curate Infectious Diseases/Emerging Infectious diseases for Univadis.co.uk Clinical Essentials. I’ve also worked as a reporter, blogger, copywriter and medical education writer for EveryDay Health, MedWire News, MS Discovery Forum, Springer HealthCare and WebMD, among other organizations. Additionally, I am an active member of the National Association of Science Writers, the Association for Health Care Journalists, and Journalists and Women Symposium.

Originally from New York City, I now reside outside of Washington D.C.

Despite signs that gender gap might be slowly changing – a Cleveland Clinic study recently found that most men in the U.S. prioritize healthy lifestyles, and more than half of Gen X and Boomer men reported getting a yearly physical – statistics paint a different picture. Last year, a study done by Harvard...
