Allison Parshall
With a background in cognitive science and documentary filmmaking, I tell stories that ground science in the world around us. My written and audio work weaves narratives together with empirical findings to communicate their complexity with nuance and clarity.
I am an Associate Editor at Scientific American covering Mind and Brain, and you’ll find most of my work there, too! I have also written for Quanta, Inverse, and Scienceline.
