About

Gayle Sulik Ph.D. is a freelance medical writer and editor with expertise in the domains of medical sociology, oncology, and public health. She founded the Breast Cancer Consortium in 2012 — an international working group committed to energizing the scientific and public discourse about breast cancer. She received the prestigious National Endowment for the Humanities research fellowship (2008), was named as one of the top ten online influencers in the field of breast cancer from ShareCare (2012), and won the Sociologists for Women in Society Distinguished Feminist Lecturer award (2013) for research excellence and ability to reach a wide audience.

Sulik's ground-breaking analysis of the culture and industry of breast cancer, richly described in her book Pink Ribbon Blues: How Breast Cancer Culture Undermines Women’s Health, is an essential read that provides thorough grounding for thinking through the complexities of breast cancer, science, and the systems set up to support people diagnosed with cancer. Her essays have been published by CNN, Scientific American, Psychology Today, Narratively, Oxford University Press, The Guardian, Kevin MD, and other outlets. She is regularly interviewed in a variety of media from Reuters and USA Today to Marie Claire, BMJ, Health News Review, The New York Times Magazine, and other news outlets. She has been a guest on Al Jazeera’s The Stream, NPR, America’s Radio News Network, The Kojo Nnamdi Show, Oprah Radio, Reach MD, and elsewhere.

Gayle Sulik has much to offer in showing others not only how to do the kind of important research she has done, but how to communicate it in ways that make a difference.
