Dr Camilla Pang has been revealed as the winner of The Royal Society’s Science Book Prize.
The debut author won the £25,000 award for her book Explaining Humans: What Science Can Teach Us About Life, Love And Relationships.
The book explores what different areas of scientific research reveal about various aspects of human behaviour.
Broadcaster Brian Cox, who is The Royal Society’s professor for public engagement in science, said: “This year, science is firmly in the spotlight and high in the public consciousness as we all feel the impact of this global pandemic.
“Our collective experience has been a stark reminder of the invaluable role that good science communication plays in equipping us to have a deeper understanding of how to respond to and protect ourselves and those around us.
“This year’s winning book, Explaining Humans, exemplifies good science writing and communication by illustrating how science can help us to understand why we do what we do.”
