Kayt Sukel tackles interesting and often taboo subjects in her writing, including love, sex, out of body experiences, and adventurous single mother travel. Based in Houston, her work has appeared in a diverse array of publications including the Atlantic Monthly, New Scientist, and National Geographic Traveler. She is a frequent contributor to the Travel Savvy Mom website, as well as the Dana Foundation’s science publications. Her first book, Dirty Minds (retitled as This Is Your Brain On Sex in paperback), is an irreverent and funny tome that takes on the age-old question, “What is love?” from a neurobiological perspective. Her forthcoming book is about the science of risk taking.
