Stacy Horn

I've just finished up my seventh non-fiction book, the Killing Fields of East New York, followed by a very long subtitle. First I thought I was telling the story of why a particular neighborhood in Brooklyn had the highest number of unsolved murders in New York. Then I realized I was also telling the story of white collar crime and how it is more destructive than street crime. In the end, I saw that the core of the story went even deeper and was far more terrible.

Lydia Kang

I love salt more than chocolate. I'm somewhat small, yet deceptively strong. Sort of like an ant.

I'm a part time doc, full time family member, and if you offer me snacks, I'll be a friend for life.

My adult fiction centers around historical mysteries in New York City, with splashes of forensics, anatomy, apothecary medicine, and chemistry! A BEAUTIFUL POISON takes place in 1918 at the height of the influenza epidemic; THE IMPOSSIBLE GIRL centers around the illegal grave robbing world; and forthcoming in July 2020 is OPIUM AND ABSINTHE, with--you guessed it--opium and absinthe. And possibly vampires!

I have three nonfiction adult titles written with Nate Pederson: QUACKERY: A Short History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything, 2017; PATIENT

Helen Thomson

Helen Thomson is a writer and consultant with New Scientist. She has also written for the Guardian, Daily Mail, BBC Future and Psychologies and has won various awards for her journalism.

Her research has taken her from coffee with five psychopathic mass murderers in Broadmoor to poking around in the Large Hadron Collider.

But her greatest fascination remains writing about the brain, especially those that don't look like everyone else's.

Yael Dreznik

Yael Dreznik's path to medicine was far from traditional. Initially dreaming of a career in economics, she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees and began working at the Ministry of Finance. Despite her professional success, she felt a growing pull toward a different path—one that combined her desire to make a tangible impact with her passion for helping others.

At the age of twenty-eight, Yael made the decision to leave her established career and pursue medicine. Drawn to surgery's challenges and inspired by the resilience of young patients, she specialized in pediatric surgery, a field she found profoundly meaningful.

Today, Yael is a senior pediatric surgeon at Schneider Children's Hospital. During her residency, she began documenting
