Who writes this newsletter?

Hi! I’m Eva Amsen, a freelance science writer who has written for Forbes, Nature, The Observer, Undark, Hakai, The Scientist and other publications. I used to be a scientist, and I’m also an amateur violinist, and I’m always very online. This newsletter helps me share the cool things I found online with other people, and it’s also a way to show you some of the things I wrote myself. But only if I think you’ll like it. (I’ll save you the very technical writing I sometimes do.)

You can find more about me on my website, even though it’s perpetually a few months out of date, or follow me on Bluesky

Mixture is an easternblot production and originated on the easternblot.net website. The blog has been dormant for years so Mixture is the place to get easternblot content these days. The easternblot brand is also used as publishing name for Eva Amsen’s independently published book “Hey, There’s Science In This”
