Rachel Emma Shaw
Ever wondered what creations come from the mind of a science-obsessed fantasy author?
A neuroscientist by training, Rachel delights in using her PhD to help her create stories that blend psychology and fantasy in ways that explore the nature of life. Alongside her writing, she works as a science communicator for a charity and has more plants than is normal.
For any fantasy authors out there who are using the genre to explore science in cool, new ways - from economists to geologists - then use the 'contact me' form on my website if you would like to reach out about appearing as a guest on the channel. I would love to share your insight and learn from your expertise in the subject matter.
