Tania Hershman profile

White Road Book Cover

Cover of Tania's collection of short stories.

Tania Hershman, a former science journalist, is author of The White Road and Other Stories, a collection of short stories inspired by New Scientist articles, and quite a few examples of very short "flash" fiction. The collection was well reviewed and was commended by the judges of the 2009 Orange Prize for Fiction.

Tania will be based in the Centre for NSQI for two days a week during 2010 so that she can explore in further depth the entanglement of short stories and science.

Tania welcomes interactions at all scales, from the micro to the nano and can be found around the building or contacted at: TaniaH@gmail.com  or TaniaHershman.com.
