We're 3 ladies working in STEM who share an interest in romance books. We love to break apart ludicrous characters and scenes with a hint of scientific flair. Could these books really happen? We give your deepest fantasies the best chance of possibly becoming a reality! And we'll likely get sidetracked along the way! Grab a drink and come dive into the Science of Smut! Find us on TikTok!

We're back at it again! Now we're tackling human flight. With what we know about biology and wing evolution, could it be possible for humans to fly? Could Azriel teach Feyre to fly?

We're back! It's after the holiday season and we're jumping into ACOTAR! We're going to look at the "real" inspirations for a bunch of SJM's fairies and monsters.
