About the Editor

Hi, I'm Mark Bayer. I launched One for the Week in January 2022.

I'm a former Chief of Staff in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, spending 20 years working in Congress.

I started Bayer Strategic Consulting 10 years ago to help scientists, engineers, and executives win research funding, get promoted, and gain the types of skills and attributes needed to become leaders.

My writing and commentary have appeared in The New York Times, Science, Forbes, The New Yorker, Barron’s, TeenVOGUE and other publications. I'm a Visiting Lecturer at Cornell University's Brooks School of Public Policy and also a Guest Lecturer in the Science Policy Bootcamp course at Cornell's Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering.

Since 2018, I've hosted the weekly podcast When Science Speaks, where I explore communications, science policy, and career issues affecting grad students, PhDs, entrepreneurs, and senior scientists.

I graduated from Cornell University and earned my Master in Public Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
