About the author

Elizabeth Blair Weeks-Rowe was born in 1970 in San Diego, CA. She knew from a very early age that she wanted to be a writer, and wrote her first poem at age 5. As she came from a family of nurses and physicians, she naturally migrated to the field of health care, and became a nurse in 1998. A career in clinical research followed suit, which introduced her to the exciting world of research studies, and drug development and innovation. For nearly 15 years she has worked in a variety of clinical research roles, such as Clinical Research Associate (CRA), CRA trainer, CRA manager and business development director. She has written and edited newsletters for several Clinical Research Organizations (CRO), created training curriculum for CRA/clinical research educational and training programs and has contributed website content for several research programs. She has been published in a number of clinical research magazines, and writes a monthly column for a large clinical research on line/print publication.
