My name is Elia Kabanov, and I am a London-based science writer covering the past, present, and future of technology.

For over 20 years, I’ve been writing about climate change, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, culture, and education.

I curate two newsletters you may wish to subscribe to:

  • Hypertextual covers universities, museums, laboratories, startups, the newest discoveries, and obscure inventions.
  • Siberian explores how scientists and ordinary people cope with Russia’s faltering regime, war, and repression.

I also work as the editor-in-chief at Urbi Atlas, a new media outlet focused on sustainability in city planning. And don’t forget to check out Metkere, my award-winning blog about history and culture!

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 480,000 subscribers.

My interviews and expert commentaries were featured on BBC, DW and BILD, in The New York Times, CoinDesk, Slate, Le Monde, News Shopper, Tagesspiegel, 7×7, The Calvert Journal, Animal, Spektrum.de, MDR, Delfi, El Diario, Lifehacker, and in other outlets.
