About me
Dr. Robert E. Hampson is a neuroscientist, professor, and author who spends his time exploring the frontiers of memory research and the far reaches of the imagination. With a Ph.D. in Physiology & Pharmacology, he studies how brains encode memories and develops futuristic technologies like neuroprosthetics. By day, he's a professor at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, mentoring students, teaching science communication, and occasionally wondering why coffee isn't considered a research tool. By night, he's a hard science fiction author who turns real-world science into thrilling, character-driven stories.
His work has earned accolades for scientific accuracy-because, let's face it, nothing ruins a sci-fi adventure like bad science. With over 30 short stories, multiple novels, and critical praise for works like The Moon and the Desert, Dr. Hampson proves that science and storytelling make a perfect pair. Whether decoding neurons or crafting futures, he's always pushing boundaries!
