Nigel Hey

    Drawing from a career spanning science writing and media, this author's latest work delves into both realms, interwoven with a life rich in adventure, travel, spiritual exploration, family, and friendships with Native Americans, all while managing chronic asthma. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a profound sense of wonder, their writing seeks to uncover the mysterious, echoing Einstein's belief that the unknown fuels true art and science. Cultivated as a writer from childhood, their path has been shaped by diverse experiences in journalism and science communication, resulting in a compelling body of work.
