A quote that truly summarizes my storyโ€” from crossing the open ocean in a rickety fishing boat to conducting fieldwork in a remote Melanesian village, all the way to working at the intersection of science, innovation, and personalized medicine. I learned early that biology is only one piece of disease โ€” cultural and societal forces shape everything alongside it. That insight built a career I never could have planned.

I can't believe that in just six weeks my memoir Mud, Microbes, and Medicine comes out. My story from a curious anthropologist deciding where to do her PhD research all the way to the boardrooms of the pharmaceutical world. If you've ever wondered whether your unconventional path is leading somewhere worth going, I hope this book feels like a yes. ๐Ÿ’› Pre-order link in my linktree. . . . . . . #MudMicrobesAndMedicine #ElizabethReedAden #ComingSoonBook #PreorderNow #UpcomingBooks #NewMemoir #MemoirWriter #MemoirCommunity #Bookstagrammer #BookLovers #BookAddict #ReadersOfInstagram #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #ScienceStory #MedicalAnthropology #ScienceCareer #WomenWhoLead #WomenInLeadership #CareerInScience

The Firebird Book Awards, hosted quarterly by Speak Up Talk Radio( @patriciajrullo ), celebrate storytelling across all genres while giving back in meaningful ways. Entry fees go toward projects that support women and children in long-term shelters โ€” including donations of books and handmade pillowcases through Enchanted Makeovers. I loved their mission and the chance to share my book all while helping a deeply worthwhile cause, so Iโ€™m very honored that The Goldilocks Genome resonated with the judges. #bookawards #medicalthriller #medicalthrillerbooks #thegoldilocksgenome

Through September 10th-15th, my award-winning medical thriller โ€œThe Goldilocks Genomeโ€ is on sale for $2.99 on Kindle. If you have not yet had the chance to pick it up, this is the perfect opportunity. โ€œThe Goldilocks Genomeโ€ isnโ€™t just a thriller โ€” itโ€™s a story rooted in science and loss. Wendyโ€™s suicide sets off a cascade of events leading to random deaths of an increasing number of people who are being treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). At its heart, this book poses a very real and relevant question: what happens when medicine isnโ€™t โ€œjust rightโ€ for 60% of patients and the wrong drug-gene match can mean tragedy. #thegoldilocksgenome #kindlebooks #kindle #sale #kindlesale #book #bookrecs #booksale #authors #medicalthriller #thrillerbooks #personalisedmedicine #genetics

I am absolutely thrilled to share that The Goldilocks Genome has recently received several incredible honors, all in one week! When I set out to write The Goldilocks Genome, my hope was to create a story that not only entertained but also sparked deeper conversations about how we approach health, medicine, and the ways science intersects with our lives. To see these efforts being recognized on such a broad scale is deeply rewarding. #nextgenerationindiebookawards #internationalbookawards #americanfictionawards #BookAwards #TheGoldilocksGenome #medicalthriller
