Jorge Abreu-Vicente, PhD

I'm an astrophysicist who spent years mapping the birthplaces of stars — cold molecular clouds, filamentary structures, the quiet violence of star formation. Then I moved into bioinformatics and AI, building tools to help scientists read the literature at a scale no human could manage alone.

Writing found me sideways. A panic disorder that I didn't see coming forced me to slow down, to look inward with the same rigour I'd applied to the sky. Morgenrot — 'morning red' in German, the glow before dawn — is the book that came out of that. It is a memoir about anxiety, about the science of recovery, and about what it means to come back to yourself.

Both Morgenrot and Permafrost are published in public as they're written. I believe in the Andy Weir model: write the thing, share it free, let readers shape it. If you've found your way here, I'm glad.
