Sophie Wang (or sometimes Shuf, she/her) is a researcher, educator, artist, and zine gremlin currently based in the Twin Cities. She makes zines/comics/art that bring a critical power lens to science, technology, epistemology, and forms of knowledge-making, and an experiential lens to her second generation Chinese American experience and other parts of her life. Her work covers topics ranging from equity and exclusion in science museums to campaign demands against predictive policing in LA. She is a co-founder of Free Radicals, an activist collective at the intersection of science and social justice.

Previous and current lives have included marketing and development work for community-based nonprofits, collections management and preparation work in vertebrate paleontology, stage management for arts programming/open mics, curriculum and workshop development and facilitation around history/philosophy/sociology of science and epistemology, and baking an absurd number of plum crumbles.
