" Her originality and her courage to take up new challenges already made her stand out in the MSc program. "
" Ms. Souren is blessed with exceptional willpower and perseverance as well as with golden penmanship. "
" Holy cow! ...you did such a great job... "
" Fantastic, all these names! Thanks so much. It’s making me feel sunny and inspired. "
" I’d love to claim the article for my own, but I didn’t provide much input. You can remove my name on the article. "
" Ms. Souren's expertise on the subject was very helpful. "
" Good that you spotted that error. The writer as well as the undersigned, the client, and the editor had missed it! "
" I liked what you had done. I had a few of the references, but most were ones I hadn’t seen. As I suspected, no one has done the math properly yet. "
" Ms. Souren is unconventional in many regards. Not one of the least important aspects of that is her versatility. "
" I hardly know any earth scientists with broader scientific interests and matching experience. "
" She thoroughly familiarized herself with knowledge at the interface of the earth sciences, microbiology and chemistry. "
" Thank you very much for your edits. I loved it! "
" ... a job well done - I like it very much... "
" I really like this class, particularly because the labs really address the issues covered in the lectures. "
" Very soon, Ms. Souren was able to execute and complete these extremely difficult and labor-intensive analyses all by herself, both in the chemistry laboratory as well as with the mass spectrometry. "
" I wanted to let you know that we've enthusiastically followed up on your tip... Thank you for your attentiveness. "
" You produced a very thorough search with quite a few references that look promising. This search was superior to another outside search that was attempted last month. "
Why should you hire me?
Hi there! Pleased to meet you. That photograph on the left, that's me, Angelina Souren. I am the face behind SmarterScience, an earth and life science specialist with a previous background in languages and tourism.
I have served as a member of the board and many committees of one of Holland’s largest organizations of women in science (NIMF) and on the board of the Environmental Chemistry Section of the Royal Netherlands Chemical Society (KNCV).
For more than ten years, I was one of the associate editors of the newsletter of the U.S.-based Geochemical Society.
In March 2009, I joined the Portsmouth Environmental Forum. Since 1991, it received logistic support from the city council, but the 2010 budget cuts have changed that. The Forum is an independent body that makes sure decision-makers take green issues into account.
I have lived and worked in various countries, among which the US. After a career in tourism and languages, I initially trained as a hard-rock geologist, switched fields toward the end of my Master’s and became a marine biogeochemist.
In 1997, I established SmarterScience as Armadillo Research Services, in Amsterdam. At the end of 2004, SmarterScience and I moved to the United Kingdom.
I originally modeled SmarterScience on the growing variety of tasks university scientists face every day in contrast with the only two or three things scientists had on their plate decades ago. A smarter way to do science! An pair of helping hands, or more accurately, an extra set of brains.
The nature of the clients may have changed slightly over the years, but what has stayed the same is that I like helping my clients succeed. I like tailoring to their needs and going the extra mile to help them accomplish what they set out to do.
On a separate page, I maintain a list with data and activities which also more or less serves as a CV. More importantly, I've found that that list enables some people to reconnect with me if they've met me at a workshop or symposium and remember me but don't recall my name.
