Mara Kenwick
Mara Kenwick is a health science writer with academic training in biomedical science and public health. She completed a BSc in Biomedical Science before an MPH focused on epidemiology, prevention and the interpretation of population-health evidence. Her early professional work involved research support for community health projects, where she prepared literature summaries, evidence briefs and public-facing explanations of study findings.
At CAB Direct, Mara covers public health, epidemiology, disease prevention, screening, health risk and the evidence behind common health recommendations. Her writing focuses on explaining study design, relative and absolute risk, and the limits of medical research in language that is useful to general readers while keeping non-clinical health information distinct from personal medical advice.
Health & Medicine articles follow CAB Direct's editorial checking process. They carry a named author, are read by a qualified medical reviewer before publication, and the supporting evidence is re-checked every six months; corrections are dated and remain visible when changes are made.

Who checks their work
Rowan Siu — author
Rowan Siu is a Biological Sciences graduate with a master’s-level specialization in Entomology. His earlier work involved sorting insect samples from field surveys and preparing short reference guides on bees, wasps and mites. At CAB Direct, Rowan covers bees and wasps, varroa and other mites, insect communication through pheromones, sound and vibration, and the long-term datasets behind reports of insect decline. His articles explain how insects were sampled or counted, how long the records run and whether a decline in one region reflects a wider trend. His articles appear under his name and stated role. Insect counts, trend estimates and varroa treatment thresholds are checked against traceable sources before publication, the source and date are given for every number, and any correction is dated and kept visible in the article.
