S. C. Carroll is a chemist and writer.

Welcome to my site.

I have two passions: chemistry and writing.

I fell in love with chemistry as an undergraduate student. Now I work in biotech as an analytical chemist. You can read about what I do here.

I’ve been writing my whole life. I’ve published several short pieces, and I’m currently seeking representation for two novels. Check out my writing here.

I see my two passions as fundamentally connected. My scientific training informs my writing, and I believe that writing develops empathy and imagination, making me a better scientist.

No matter what I do, I live for the moments that insight crystallizes from the murk.
