Dr Helena Henke: Scientist Who Reads
•
Scientists Who Read
In the next edition of Scientist Who Reads we finally get to speak to the romance queen aka Dr Helena Henke (She/Her). We spoke to her about expat and academic nomad life, the importance of diversifying our reads and how they can help us understand experiences other than our own and maybe sometimes even help us discover things about ourselves. And of course, we talk about romance; queer romance, STEM rep in romance, and so much more!
