Meg Marquardt studies the way science is used to make arguments. She has spent time in labs, as a science journalist, and as a technical editor for the U.S. Geological Survey. Her research is focused on the rhetorical origins of science and scientific methods, studying how rhetoric pervades science long before scientific results are communicated to colleagues or reported to publics. Her sites of study focus on analyzing primary scientific sources, such as journal articles and scientific modeling, from under examined scientific fields such as physics. In doing so, her work contributes to the field of rhetoric by broadening the sites and scopes of what can be investigated by rhetoricians of science.
