Expertise and Professional Focus
After five years in a neurobiology research group studying how sex hormones shape brain function, Lina transitioned from academia to science communication. She stays close to the scientific world and draws on her research background to evaluate studies with depth, accuracy, and nuance.
Her work focuses on exploring emerging health and wellness topics and examining whether the claims surrounding popular trends hold up to scientific scrutiny. Lina celebrates the growing interest in health and self-improvement, but also values a critical, balanced perspective in a wellness space where enthusiasm often outpaces evidence.
Approach to Writing
Lina aims to make scientific ideas understandable, enjoyable, and grounded in reality. She believes we live in an exciting time, where people are more curious than ever about how their bodies and minds work, yet are surrounded by information of wildly varying quality. Her goal is both to share that curiosity and to provide reliable information, offering a measured perspective that helps readers think for themselves.
Personal Interests
Learning about science, and about our minds and bodies more broadly, is as much Lina’s hobby as it is her profession, with neuroscience continuing to hold a special place in her heart. She also loves fostering warm connections and has worked as a community manager in both travel and startup environments. Outside of work, she spends time in nature and on hiking trails, practices everything from yoga and running to high-intensity training, and enjoys exploring healthier recipes in the kitchen.
