More About Me:

Shin Jie Yong is a Malaysian science writer and researcher with over 5 years of experience. Currently, he resides in the UK, Brunei, and Malaysia.

He has written over 350 science articles on Medium, which have garnered millions of views and have been read widely for their novelty and extensive analyses that shed light on critical subjects. One of his articles was even shared online by the Ministry of Health of Malaysia. In academia, Shin has published over 10 first-author papers (3 sole authors) in reputable journals while he was just a master's student in Malaysia. His contributions have earned him a spot on the US Stanford University's list of top 2% (specifically, the top 0.7%) of most-cited scientists worldwide in 2023 and 2024. He is likely the youngest scientist ever named on this esteemed list. His scientific papers have been cited by news media, policy documents, and Wikipedia and patent entries. In recognition of his achievements, Shin has been appointed as an adjunct lecturer at Sunway University.

His non-academic research contributions include assisting in winning the US$100,000 Rootclaim debate on the origin of COVID-19. After earning his Master of Science (by research) in 2023, Shin is now an independent writer and researcher. He specializes in sourcing the best research to boost brand authority and craft persuasive, evidence-based content for health, biotech, or relevant companies.
