Projects

Looking for a clear-eyed copywriter for your next project, or someone to write compelling career profiles? Here are a few projects I’ve worked on.

Franklin Women 2020 Impact Report

WORDS BY CLARE WATSON | DESIGN BY EMMA WRIGHT

Published in December 2020, Franklin Women’s Impact Report captures the impact of the grassroots social enterprise in its first 5 years. It features stories of powerful career connections, and leadership transformed at the highest levels of health and medical research institutes and organisations.

“Clare was an absolute breath of fresh air when working with her on the Franklin Women 2020 Impact Report. She provided input at all stages of its development, from early project conception to interviews and content creation, as well as the final dissemination plan. Her ability to transverse the entire process resulted in an end product that was beyond our expectations. ”

— Melina Georgousakis, founder of Franklin Women

In 2023, Franklin Women was awarded a two-year grant from NSW Health to ensure its ongoing growth and impact.

MASSIVE Annual Report

Contributing Writer, 2020

MASSIVE is a data processing engine for Australian scientists who are capturing and analysing ever-increasing amounts of data. I profiled radiologists who are using AI to detect fungal infections on CT scans, biologists adopting imaging techniques from astronomers and the physicists tasked with upgrading the world’s largest particle accelerator.

Researcher, 2019 and 2022

Franklin Women’s Wikipedia Edit-a-thon aimed to increase the visibility of notable Australian female scientists represented on the online open-access encyclopaedia. I supported these events by compiling resources on notable women that attendees could write about.

The events received coverage in the Sydney Morning Herald, SBS, and ABC Radio National.

UOW Outlook Alumni Magazine

Contributing writer, 2019

For the 2019 UOW Outlook Alumni Magazine, I profiled an Olympic hopeful turned psychology researcher who is challenging gender stereotypes in science. I also interviewed scientists who are using their space research to better understand our planet's future.

Contributing writer, 2018

This series focused on early-career researchers and thought leaders who are making real change to the environment, economy, society and culture. I interviewed materials scientists, atmospheric chemists, statisticians, accountants, nurses, engineers, plus law and education experts.
