Lauren Aguirre

"The Memory Thief," a story about memory, opioids, and the brain, is my first book. It was shortlisted for the 2022 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award. I am so honored.

I grew up loving science and storytelling. In college, I discovered I could live in both worlds by becoming a science journalist. At the PBS series NOVA, I covered human origins, space exploration, art restoration, and much more. But whatever the topic, two themes captivated me; the thrill of finding something out and the challenge of getting others to believe you when your discovery bumps up against conventional wisdom. "The Memory Thief" is just such a story.
