About me

I’m Elia Kabanov, a London-based science writer and editor. For more than 20 years, I’ve covered mammoths roaming in Siberia, telescopes scanning the skies, and climate change rewriting the planet. My work has appeared in Meduza, Urbi Atlas, Grist, Tayga.info, and many other outlets. I follow ideas across centuries, from ancient inventions to generative AI, and show how they continue to shape the present.
