About the Author

Born in Zurich, Alice Wort was drawn to science early — not to “hack” things, but to understand why the world works the way it does. In school, she was already reading Heisenberg seriously, and her idea of fun was watching science documentaries. While other kids dreamed of being astronauts, she already knew who Pauli was.

Her journey into science was not only brilliant but methodical. After earning her PhD at ETH Zurich, she joined the ATLAS project at CERN, working with real data from the Large Hadron Collider. Those years cemented her belief: science isn’t an abstraction, it’s the key to decoding reality. After five years of research, she made an unexpected choice — to step out of the lab and into science communication.

From 2020 to 2023, Alice worked as a scientific editor at Nature Physics, sharpening her voice and learning how to make the complex sound clear without losing nuance. Her texts reached not only physicists but also readers from the humanities. That’s where her signature formula was born: memes and analogies only when they actually serve the meaning.

Since 2024, Alice has been the lead science communicator on a major blog, finally blending all her passions: physics, culture, and humor. She’ll casually explain bosons through TV references and illustrate non-locality with a pizza delivery analogy. Her goal isn’t to oversimplify science, but to make it feel close and understandable. As she likes to say: “The quantum world isn’t a paradox — it’s just another language.”

Writing Style

Alice writes about quantum physics as if it were a scene from Interstellar — only this time with the precision that makes you rewatch the movie and finally get it. Her texts tick like Swiss watches: first the problem, then the solution, and finally why it matters — to you, to science, and to culture. She’s not shy about dropping memes or cultural nods, but never at the expense of accuracy. “Let’s figure out how the universe works — and why it’s cooler than you ever thought.”

Visual Style

Minimalist yet striking visuals: scientific charts and diagrams blended with pop culture references and meme energy. Every topic is presented with wit, clarity, and a focus on why it matters in real life.
