Amy Alkon is an independent investigative science writer specializing in “applied science”— using scientific evidence to solve real-world problems.
Alkon critically evaluates and synthesizes research across
disciplines and then translates it into everyday language,
empowering regular people to make scientifically informed
decisions for the best of their health and well-being.
For 25 years, Alkon wrote an award-winning, science-based
nationally syndicated advice column, distributed by Creators.
With GOING MENOPOSTAL, Alkon has authored five
books—most recently, her “science-help” book Unfuckology:
How to Live with Guts and Confidence (St. Martin’s Press,
2018).
Alkon is the past President of the Applied Evolutionary
Psychology Society, which brings evolutionary science to
public policy, education, and medicine.
Alkon has given invited talks to academics on applied science at scientific conferences and to large groups at universities. She has given two TED talks, and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office hires Alkon, a State of California-certified mediator, to do behavioral science-based dispute resolution talks and training videos.
Alkon has been profiled in The New York Times, TIME, The Washington Post, The Independent/UK, and Macleans. Alkon has appeared on numerous national TV and radio shows, including Good Morning America, Today, NPR, CNN, Nightline, Anderson Cooper, Coast to Coast, and Canada’s The Agenda with Steve Paikin, along with podcasts by Adam Carolla, Joe Rogan, Michael Shermer, Robert Wright, and Scott Barry Kaufman.
Alkon lives in Venice, California. Her website: amyalkon.net
