Research Consulting
Human-driven research using real intelligence
About Me
Hello! I’m Dr Sarah Townshend, a lifelong information addict with a love for learning new things and digging out facts.
My PhD is in the humanities, and for over a decade I have worked in clinical trial translation: a field where accuracy depends on deep background research and obsessive attention to detail. These experiences taught me how to navigate complex material, verify sources, and explain findings without putting anyone to sleep.
Now I provide research support across all sorts of fields, from the humanities and social sciences to medical and technical topics. If something falls outside my expertise, I’ll be upfront about it and happily point you in the direction of someone who can help.
At the core of what I do is a belief that research should be reliable, ethical, and enjoyable. I genuinely love this stuff, so let me handle the research bits that I enjoy while you focus on doing the things you love.
