Cordelia Fine, a Canadian-born British philosopher of science, psychologist, and writer, is a prominent figure in the field of the History and Philosophy of Science. As a full professor at the University of Melbourne, Australia, she has made significant contributions to our understanding of social cognition, neuroscience, and the popular myths of sex differences.
Fine's critically acclaimed work includes her latest book, Testosterone Rex, which won the Royal Society Science Book Prize in 2017. She is responsible for coining the term neurosexism, challenging the assertion that the brains of men and women are fundamentally different. This concept has been a recurring theme in her books and articles, notably in CuestiΓ³n de sexos (2010).
Her role as a science communicator has led her to give numerous public and keynote lectures across various sectors. Fine's writing has appeared in prestigious outlets such as The New York Times, Scientific American, New Scientist, The Guardian, and The Monthly. She is also a seasoned book reviewer for The Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal.
In recognition of her professional achievements and their impact on humanity's understanding and well-being, Cordelia Fine was awarded the Edinburgh Medal in April 2018.
