"With the deadline approaching, asking Dennis to edit our sizable training grant application to the NIH was the best decision we could have made. He refined our documents to accentuate the fit for the funding program, which genuinely improved its quality. The collaboration was effortless and timely. We are looking forward to working with him in future! "
Assist. Prof. Dr. Dominique L. Pritchett,
Howard University, DC, USA
"Dennis' comments helped me a lot in the process of refining my doctoral thesis to make it more comprehensible for readers from other research areas. Not only did he have the necessary neuroscientific background knowledge - he also demonstrated a precise feeling for rephrasing scientific writing to make it accurate and understandable."

“Dennis is a highly experienced neuroscientist with broad training in behavioral and systems neuroscience. He is passionate about science communication and advocacy, and it is exciting to see him combine that passion with his scientific expertise in his role as a freelance scholar. He was born for this!”
Dr. Megan R. Carey,
Principal Investigator, Champalimaud Research
“I worked closely with Dr. Eckmeier for several years. He is a very careful scientist, and he puts a lot of thought into his very clear writing. He is also a very rigorous and exacting critic. I am confident that with these skills, he will sharpen your manuscripts and grant proposals.”
Dr. Stephen D Shea,
Associate Professor, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
“My former PhD student Dennis Eckmeier is a reliable source of feedback and advice for neurobiologists. Dennis is a quiet person, but very approachable. As any excellent scientist, he is also intelligent, clear thinking, skeptical, and has many original and attractive ideas. His extraordinary diligence, and high expectations are reflected in all his work. He knows how to shape publications to perfection, and how to respond constructively to difficult reviewers.”
Dr. Hans-Joachim Bischof,
Professor emeritus, Bielefeld University
Scientific Editing
I will provide feedback and editing at the level you wish:
- proofreading
- copy editing
- language editing (ENG / GER)
- editing for clarity and conciseness

peer review / scientific consulting
In the area of behavioral and systems neuroscience I can help with feedback on your content, as well. Check my CV to see if I would be an appropriate reviewer! My reviews are friendly. But to be helpful, they will have to be honest, too. If you ask for a peer review, it will include copy-editing.
scientific consulting for non-academic media
I am a big fan of science fiction, and science communication. Contact me, if you want me to check on the science in your non-academic work!
