Marc Humphrey learned physics at Western Michigan University. At Harvard University he learned how to use it, and teach it too, and for that he received a handful of awards. His nonfiction aims to explain the workings of nature, in simple terms, to the curious non-scientist. His fiction weaves natural and societal curiosities into speculative plots – with lots of hidden meanings. A Michigan native, he currently lives in Vienna with his wife and two budding bookworms.
