Eve H


Eve H has written extensively about the transformative power of cutting-edge science and medicine. Driven by an insatiable curiosity about what lies ahead for the human race, Eve's published work crosses categories, exploring issues in biology and medicine, bioethics, social issues, end-of-life matters, aging and human-technology interaction. Always at the center of her writings are real men and women seeking to navigate a world that is changing at lightning speed.

Eve has had a long career in science communications. She is past director of the Office of Communications and Public Affairs at the American Psychiatric Association and has served as Director of Pubic Policy Research and Education at the Genetics Policy Institute. Other positions include Public Education director at the Stem Cell Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization promoting biomedical research and education. She is also the former managing editor of The Gerontologist, a scholarly journal that explores the many facets of aging and its impact on society.

Her writings have appeared in newspapers and magazines nationwide, including USA Today, The Palm Beach Post, MIT’s Technology Magazine, on CNN.com, ABC.com, on Vice.com and many others. Eve has written and spoken extensively about the emerging field of stem cell research, publishing the book Stem Cell Wars: Inside Stories from the Front Lines in 2006. The book won a commendation in popular medicine from the British Medical Association. She has written several publications on Alzheimer’s disease and other age-related and degenerative diseases and their impact on patients, families, caregivers and society. Stem Cell Wars has been included in the syllabus in a class on science communications at the University of California at Berkeley, and she is a contributor to the Springer International Encyclopedia of Sciences and Religions. Her new book, Beyond Human: How Cutting-Edge Science is Extending Our Lives, was nominated for a Kirkus Prize in Nonfiction. The book was released in August, 2016.
