Amethysta Herrick, Ph.D., is a transgender scientist and content creator who has always been driven by an insatiable desire to understand why the universe works the way it does. Ami’s academic journey led her through molecular biology to a Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry. In 2022, when she transitioned gender to align the person she always knew she was on the inside with her external presentation, Ami recognized a new calling: to integrate her scientific background with her personal journey to help others understand and navigate the complex terrain of gender and identity.
