Joan Slonczewski investigates extreme biology at Kenyon College, and runs the blog Ultraphyte. According to NPR, her Campbell-Award-winning book, The Highest Frontier shows "a worldwide communications system that makes the iPhone look like a Model-T Ford." Her fan favorite Brain Plague shows intelligent alien microbes that enhance human brain power--for a price.
