My name is Elia Kabanov, and I’m an award-winning science writer based in London, covering the past, present, and future of technology.
For over 20 years, I’ve been writing about climate change, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, history, culture, and education, with bylines in Grist, Salon, Mother Jones, HuffPost, The Insider, Bird in Flight
These days, I focus on three things: publishing a weekly science newsletter, exploring local history in south-east London, and writing about culture.
- Hypertextual: my weekly newsletter about fascinating facts, discoveries, and the people behind them.
- Deptford.org is my local history project with maps, old documents, and places where the past is still visible if you know where to look.
- Metkere is my blog about history, culture, and rabbit holes I could not leave alone.
I love explaining things. As a science communicator and writer, I’ve worked with clients worldwide, including in the UK, India, Bangladesh, the UAE, Brazil, Spain, Germany, Belarus, Uzbekistan, and Russia.
I was also a co-author and presenter on a YouTube channel on all things science with 450,000 subscribers.
My interviews and expert commentaries were featured on BBC, DW and BILD, in The New York Times, CoinDesk, Le Monde, The Guardian, New America, News Shopper, 7×7, The Calvert Journal, Animal, Spektrum.de, MDR, Delfi, El Diario, Slate, Kyiv Post, Lifehacker, Vita, 7×7, London Minute, Lapin Kansa, The Calvert Journal, and other outlets.
