1. Emily Nagoski is the author of Come As You Are, a New York Times Best Seller.
Come As You Are is an exploration of women’s sexuality through evidence-based research and science. It’s kind of a big deal, as in first-book-of-its-kind big deal. And guess what?!

2. She has a twin sister, Amelia, who is a conductor of classical music.
Together, they co-wrote Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle that releases in the spring. Burnout explains why women experience burnout differently than men and the societal pressures women face in male-dominated fields.
3. Emily was a peer educator in college.
While studying psychology with minors in cognitive science and philosophy at the University of Delaware, Emily was a volunteer peer educator.
