Leah Elson in 2023, author headshot

Leah Elson (born 1985) is an American scientist, non-fiction author, and popular science communicator. She conducts clinical development research in novel technology and applied biologics in the field of human peripheral nerve repair. Leah founded STEMpire Studios and is the host of the podcast What The Hell Do You Know?!. She is also the author and illustrator of There Are (No) Stupid Questions… in Science.[1][2][3] Elson's public communications are aimed at addressing scientific illiteracy, as well as encouraging women and under-represented minority groups in STEM.[4][5][6]

Education[edit]

Elson received a BS at San Diego State University in 2009, completed a post-baccalaureate program in pre-medical sciences at Harvard University in 2012, an MS from The Johns Hopkins University in 2017,[7] and an MPH from The Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California in 2022.[8] Her University of Southern California practicum project was an epidemiologic evaluation of nationwide data from the American College of Surgeons National Cancer Database to investigate sociodemographic and clinicopathologic factors associated with survivorship disparities in Hispanic women presenting with breast cancer.

Scientific career[edit]

Elson has conducted research since 2009, in both the biotechnology industry and in academia. During her career, she has published dozens of peer-reviewed publications.[9][10][11] From 2010 to 2013, she performed clinical research at Massachusetts General Hospital in the field of orthopedics and adult joint reconstruction. From 2013 to 2018, she oversaw clinical research activities for novel intraoperative technology at OrthoSensor Inc. From 2018 to 2020 she oversaw investigator-initiated research and epidemiologic research in oncology at the Maroone Cancer Center at Cleveland Clinic Florida. As of November 2023, she is conducting clinical development research and technology mobilization in the field of peripheral nerve repair in the biotechnology industry.[12]

Science communication[edit]

In 2017, Elson launched her first public platform for science communication on Instagram, and her second platform on TikTok in 2022.[13] She uses short form videos and a humorous approach to teach science to the general public;[14][15][16][17][18] she covers topics in biology, human medicine, chemistry, physics, and astronomy.[19][20] The content of her scientific videos is highly varied and driven by viewer voting. Cara Santa Maria has noted Elson's easy-to-digest teaching methodology and dedication to public outreach in STEM.[21][22][23]

Books[edit]

In 2023, Elson wrote, illustrated, and narrated her debut book There Are (No) Stupid Questions… in Science, through Blackstone Publishing.[1][2][3] The book was a Barnes & Noble bestseller, an Audible Pick of Science & Technology New Releases, A Kobo Pick of New Audiobook Releases in Nonfiction, a Legible.com Staff Pick, and an Audiobooks.com Pick of the Week's Best Books.[24]
