Jena Pincott

Jena Pincott writes about the quirky, hidden side of science -- the shocking, subconscious, under-the-radar stuff. She is the author of eight books, including "Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies? Exploring the Surprising Science of Pregnancy," which received starred reviews from Kirkus and Library Journal for blending "science with wit, personal anecdote, and playful humor." Her previous book, Do Gentlemen Really Prefer Blondes?, on the science of love and attraction, is translated in 17 languages.

Jena has a background in biology. Formerly a senior editor at Random House, she blogs at Psychology Today and has contributed to many publications, including Nautilus, Scientific American, Wall Street Journal, Oprah.com/OWN, and others. She also writes science fiction.

Jena lives in New York City with her husband, Peter, and two young daughters.
