Saxon Honey

molecular biologist
based in Tucson

I specialize in making complex scientific ideas visible, intuitive, and impactful.

My work bridges deep biological insight with clear communication, thoughtful design, and a commitment to integrity at every stage. I specialize in experimental design, data interpretation, and the kind of pattern recognition that turns complexity into clarity.

Whether I’m building research systems, designing STEM visuals, or engineering data-driven solutions, I approach every project with precision, integrity, and a deep understanding of how things connect — biologically, visually, and structurally

Technical Skills

I bring a versatile toolkit of experimental, computational, and communication skills that support rigorous scientific discovery from bench to publication.
