Stuart James Ritchie is a Scottish psychologist and science communicator known for his research in human intelligence. He has served as a lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London since the summer of 2018. He was previously active in researching intelligence as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Edinburgh.[1][2][3] In 2021, his book Science Fictions was nominated for the £25,000 Royal Society Prize for Science Books but lost out to Merlin Sheldrake's Entangled Life.[4] Ritchie writes a newsletter titled Science Fictions for the newspaper i (on Substack prior to 2023) which, like his book of the same name, focuses on scientific controversies and bias and fraud in scientific research.[5]
