Pere Estupinyà is a trained chemist and biochemist and a science communicator by vocation who, after a short time as a PhD researcher, switched to science journalism. After serving as the editor of a leading Spanish television program on science, he is currently the director and presenter of a new show on Spanish public television named after his book “The Brain Snatcher.”

Pere Estupinyà has lectured on Science, Technology and Society at the Ramon Llull University in Barcelona and spent an academic year at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University as a Knight Science Journalism Fellow. He has been a consultant for the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB) and the Organization Of American States (OAS) on topics concerning the improvement of science communications in Latin America. His remarkably transparent and clever writing led him to write about science in the main Spanish newspapers.

In November 2010 Pere Estupinyà published his first book on science for the general public: “El Ladrón de cerebros” (The Brain Snatcher), which is now in its 5^th reprinting. In summer 2011 he released the eBook “Rascar donde no pica” (To Scratch Where It Doesn’t Itch), and in 2013 he published the Spanish and Catalan editions of S=EX2. In 2016, Pere Estupinyà published his most recent book “Comer cerezas con los ojos a ciegas” (Eating Cherries with Blind Eyes).

Pere Estupinyà lives in Washington, DC and Barcelona, and defines himself as a scientific omnivore who writes about science as an excuse to learn more about, and enjoy, its wonders.
