Amanda Niehaus is a biologist and award-winning writer living in Brisbane, Australia. Most recently, she is author of the acclaimed novel THE BREEDING SEASON—a story of love, loss, and resilience based on the reproductive biology of northern quolls.
Amanda weaves scientific ideas, facts, and the lives of scientists into her creative writing. Why? Because fiction, memoir, and personal essay show us what science means in our everyday lives.
In addition to her creative work, Amanda collaborates with university researchers, academics, and leadership teams to improve the communication of ideas and outcomes in grants, papers, and reports. She works across all disciplinary fields, not just science.
