Rebecca Dyer is ScienceAlert’s assistant editor. She holds a Bachelor of Medical Science with a major in Nutrition. She is currently studying towards a Master of Data Science. Rebecca loves all areas of science and has a particular interest in genetics, neuroscience, and technology. She believes we should never stop learning.

Before joining the ScienceAlert editorial team in 2022, Rebecca worked in medical admin and creative media. She has also instructed aerial hoop classes and volunteered for a domestic violence prevention charity.

Rebecca spends most of her spare time outdoors. She loves to challenge her extreme fear of heights by climbing mountains and hiking all over the world, or spinning upside down on an aerial hoop.

Rebecca lives by the ocean in South Australia with her partner, where they often spot dolphins from their living room.
