About the Author

Katy is an award-winning editor and writer with a BA in Humanities and Philosophy, over 15 years of experience in online and print publishing, and a love of entertaining people with cool, weird stories – particularly awe-inspiring space and myth-busting archaeology. In this quest, she has interviewed scientific luminaries that range from popular TV science communicators to Nobel Prize winners. She oversees IFLScience editorial content from News articles to Features, and even occasionally writes some. She is also co-creator and co-editor of IFLScience’s e-magazine, CURIOUS, a fierce advocate of the Oxford comma, and was named the Association of British Science Writers Editor of the Year 2023. In her spare time, she is mostly found with a good sci-fi novel or a ridiculous monster movie and a mug of Earl Grey.
