Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
David Robson is a British science writer whose work sits at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, health, and behavior. His interest in the subject began early: he has traced part of it to the IQ test he took for entry to secondary school, an experience that later fed his scrutiny of how societies define intelligence. After reading mathematics at Cambridge University, he spent five years as a features editor at New Scientist and another five as a senior journalist at BBC Future, before broadening his bylines across outlets including the Guardian, the Atlantic, Aeon, Men’s Health, and the Washington Post.
