Thanks for stopping by,

On my mind

What I enjoy most is talking about the marriage of science and society--sometimes loving, sometimes tense, but inseparable. What influences our health choices? Why are scientists studying this and not that? I consider my job as a medical writer is to unearth little known stories in the history of medicine and think about how those pivotal moments have shifted our ideas about wellness. I also like to consider ways you take big topics and make them into stories that will engage a wider audience.

‍

Why I'm excited to talk

Every time I hear from a reader, our conversations energize me, often broaden my thinking. Reach out to me, we can talk medicine, public health, and storytelling.

‍

Also

I am officially a writer, teacher and mother, but I think of myself as a talker and listener. I'm excited to engage with readers to keep conversations going, which is crucial in these polarized times.

Where I've written

Aroused

The History of Hormones and How They Control Just About Everything

‍

‍A Science News Favorite Science Book of 2018

‍

Metabolism, behavior, sleep, mood swings, the immune system, fighting, fleeing, puberty, and sex: these are just a few of the things our bodies control with hormones. Armed with a healthy dose of wit and curiosity, medical journalist Randi Hutter Epstein reveals the “invigorating history” (Nature) of hormones and the age-old quest to control them through the back rooms, basements, and labs where endocrinology began.

‍

“A sweeping, glorious story of hormones, threaded through with sex, suffering, neurology, biology, medicine, and self-discovery.”

―Siddhartha Mukherjee

Get Me Out

A History of Childbirth from the Garden of Eden to the Sperm Bank

‍

Making and having babies―what it takes to get pregnant, stay pregnant, and deliver―has mystified women and men for the whole of human history. The birth gurus of ancient times told newlyweds that simultaneous orgasms were necessary for conception and that during pregnancy a woman should drink red wine but not too much and have sex but not too frequently. Over the last one hundred years, depending on the latest prevailing advice, women have taken morphine, practiced Lamaze, relied on ultrasound images, sampled fertility drugs, and shopped at sperm banks.

‍

In Get Me Out, the insatiably curious Randi Hutter Epstein journeys through history, fads, and fables, and to the fringe of science, where audacious researchers have gone to extreme measures to get healthy babies out of mothers. Here is an entertaining must-read―and an enlightening celebration of human life.
