Summary
John M. Goodman, Ph.D. is a multidisciplinary scientist, writer, designer, and consultant with over five decades of professional experience translating complex technical and scientific topics into clear prose and visuals. He has authored multiple trade and peer-reviewed publications, taught physics and computer science at college level, founded and directed a science museum that inspired later regional institutions, and now runs a long-standing consulting and business practice helping clients with grant writing, patent preparation, expert witness work, and technical communication.
