About Me

Jayda Abrams is a typical New Yorker, meaning she is not originally from NYC but truly knows it is the greatest city in the world. After finishing a bachelor’s degree in biology from Virginia Commonwealth University, she moved to Manhattan with her senior tabby cat, Yonka. While in graduate school, Jayda worked as a fifth- and sixth-grade science teacher in Brooklyn and was inspired to write this book after she could not find a similar resource for her classroom. She now works in the field of science communication and strives to make science accessible to everyone. When she is not working, she loves watching RuPaul’s Drag Race, traveling, getting a kick out of her favorite YouTubers, writing, and preserving her Duolingo streak. Keep an eye out for more books from her in the future.
