Writing on science and society, the nature of the universe, and what it means to be human.
Hi! I’m Elizabeth Fernandez, and I’m a science writer who covers the hard sciences and science and society.
I have a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of Texas, and I love to write about anything science, especially astronomy, geology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, climate change, and AI.
My other love is how science interfaces with the rest of our human existence. This is sometimes the history, philosophy, or ethics of science, how science and technology are part of our culture, art, and music, and the interaction of science and religion.
My work has appeared in Nautilus, Discover, Physics Magazine, Sky and Telescope, the MIT Technology Review, ACS, Big Think, Freethink, Symmetry Magazine, space.com, Forbes.com, and BioLogos. I write scripts for the YouTube Channel Up and Atom, and I independently produced six seasons of SparkDialog Podcasts.
I won Second Place in Journalism in the for the Science Communicators of North Carolina SciComm Awards in 2023 and 2024. I was a Sinai and Synapses Fellow on the interface of science and religion from 2019 to 2021. I am also involved in various groups that support science writing in a variety of ways.
