“Die Hard? Alien invaders? Lauren has fantastic analogies to help explain drug interactions with our bodies. Don't miss them! Entertaining and so informative, I learned a lot about what's really going on when caffeine and other substances hit the system.”

“Fabulous pharmacology and batman analogies abound, a fellow Aussie and writer of highly accessible content about everyone's favourite subject: drugs!”
Nicholas Kircher, A Chemical Mind
“If you're looking for a writer who makes complex topics like drugs and their effects on the body understandable , I highly recommend Lessons on drugs. Lauren has a remarkable way of weaving in pop culture references, like Batman and Willy Wonka, to explain the science in a clever, captivating way.”
