Wendy Johnson

Genetics and environmental science

PhD in Genetics MSc in Environmental Biology BSc in Biological Sciences • Columbia University • New York

Wendy Johnson, PhD, is a New York–based science and technology correspondent for Apollo Thirteen News, covering genetics, environmental science, and biological risk. Her reporting focuses on how genetic systems interact with environmental pressures, including climate change, pollution, urbanisation, and emerging biotechnologies. She specialises in translating peer-reviewed research and institutional science into clear, evidence-based analysis, with particular attention to long-term health, ecological stability, and unintended consequences. Johnson’s work draws on academic research, federal science programmes, and international data sets, examining how advances in genomics and environmental biology are reshaping medicine, public policy, and population resilience.
