Elena Kazamia
Elena is a science writer from Athens in Greece. She received her PhD from the University of Cambridge where she studied algae – both in their natural environment and for use in biotechnology. After receiving her doctorate she was elected to a research fellowship at Corpus Christi College. She has conducted research at Stanford (on barnacles), MIT & Harvard Medical School (on cyanobacteria) and the École Normale Supérieure in Paris (on diatoms).
Elena is writing The Wanderers, a book on algae and symbiosis. It is her first book of non-fiction.
Elena freelances as a science journalist and is a regular contributor to Nautilus magazine. She writes about a wide variety of subjects, including the intersection between science and art, conservation and expedition science, discoveries in molecular sciences, bioethics, anthropology and AI.
She lives in San Diego with her husband, their young daughter, and a wild furry companion, who occasionally responds to ‘Sky’ when not distracted by chasing birds into the sunset.
