Jamie Frank

Jamie Frank is a writer, researcher, and U.S. Navy veteran whose work explores the complicated intersections of science, medicine, identity, addiction, trauma, and the systems that shape people's lives. With an academic background in biology and pharmacology and more than a decade of experience in clinical research, he approaches difficult subjects with an emphasis on evidence, nuance, and accessibility. His writing is driven by a belief that complex ideas should not be reserved for specialists—and that good science communication should leave room for the human beings behind the data. Frank is also the founder of Finding True Masculinity, an educational and support platform created for transgender men and the broader transmasculine community. His work there combines research with lived experience to address health, identity, masculinity, social issues, and the realities that are often overlooked in more conventional resources. Across his books, Frank is particularly interested in the places where simple explanations fail: where medicine meets ethics, where trauma intersects with addiction, where social assumptions collide with scientific evidence, and where marginalized populations disappear from research altogether. Rather than offering easy answers, he aims to give readers the evidence and context necessary to think critically for themselves. Originally from New Orleans and now based in Ohio, Frank writes nonfiction for readers who are curious, skeptical, and willing to question what they think they know.
