Team
The Bisexual Research Group was founded in 2020 by Dr. Julia Shaw, who is a psychological scientist at University College London, the author of multiple best-selling books, and a BBC science communicator. She is best known for her work in the areas of false memory, bisexuality, and criminal psychology. Her third book, Bi: The hidden culture, history, and science of bisexuality, was published in the summer of 2022. The book is an eye-opening, rigorous, and personal exploration of sexuality.
