What’s in a name?

We’re a lot of things at Minola Scientific, but importantly, we’re medical writers with a lot of vital expertise. That means we’re scientists first and foremost, but we’re also artists too. The best medical writers have to be both.

The name “Minola Scientific” comes from the famous conspiracy theory that at least part of Shakepeare’s famous works may have been written by Emilia Bassano. Legend has it that Bassano may have based the famous leading lady from Taming of the Screw—Kate Minola—off of the author’s own likeness. Hence, our wasp logo is modeled off of the famous line from Kate herself, “If I be waspish, best beware my sting.”

While we’re definitely not shrews here at Minola Scientific, we do love writing quality clinical documentation because we’re passionate about conducting expert science, and writing clear, concise, and careful documentation. Like the Emilia Bassano of lore, we took the consulting route, not for the glory or credit, but for the opportunity to lend our expertise, which is what makes us skilled consultants.
