Use of past tense in scientific publication

Consider the following sentence:



"Bob started to feel uneasy, as Alice was doing X."



What I want to express is that in the past, Bob started to feel uneasy.
Alice started doing X in the past and still is to this day.



Is the example sentence correct? Or "...IS Alice doing X"?



For a scientific publication - being written in present tense - how do I express this situation in correct English?
