Expert Details

Zoe Cormier is an author, journalist, speaker and events producer with a background in biology. Her first book, Sex, Drugs & Rock n’ Roll: The Science of Hedonism and the Hedonism of Science – hand-picked by The Guardian as a “must- read” – was published by Profile Books in August 2014. Reviewed with wide acclaim by such diverse publications as Wired, The Daily Mail, The Independent, BBC Focus and The Big Issue, it celebrates and explores why being bad feels so good – and why these “base” pursuits are key to what makes us human. 

Zoe has also given public lectures to tens of thousands of people since 2008 on music, science, sex and drugs at festivals, literary events, universities, government institutions, and industry workshops. Recent appearances include Talks at Google, F5 Festival, BBC Radio 4, The CBC, Monocle, Slate, and NPR.
