Curiosity
Rooted in a deep appreciation for neuroscience, psychiatry, and environmental health, we embrace innovation and the pursuit of difficult, nuanced questions.
At Nordica Scientific, we believe that:
Healing the brain is a pathway to healing society – and vice versa.
Research should not only deepen our understanding, but also expand empathy, awareness, and justice.
True advancement requires courage, sustainability, and inclusivity.
Together with our partners, we strive to amplify science that creates lasting improvements in human, societal, and environmental health.
Where does “Nordica” come from?
Nordica Scientific draws its name from Lillian “Madame Nordica” Norton – a 19th-century opera singer from rural Maine who ultimately rose to global renown. Her boldness, brilliance, and unapologetic individuality embody the spirit we bring to science: innovation, exploration, and the courage to be heard.
Our name is also evocative of the aurora borealis, or Northern Lights – a symbol of hope and a reminder that progress still creates powerful illumination in times of darkness.
Meet the Founder
Lauren M. Kerr is a scientific writer and consultant committed to advancing research that addresses the most urgent challenges in human and societal health. With more than a decade of experience in biomedical and clinical research, she has worked across leading academic institutions, pharmaceutical partners, and advocacy organizations, collaborating with teams across the globe to bring rigor, structure, and clarity to complex science.
Raised in rural Maine in a close-knit family shaped by both resilience and struggle, Lauren grew up attuned to the realities of psychiatric illness, addiction, and caregiving alongside everyday life. Those early experiences became the foundation of her curiosity about the brain, trauma, and the environment – and her determination to help ensure that science in these areas is not only conducted with ethical rigor, but also communicated with clarity and conviction.
Today, through Nordica Scientific, Lauren brings this combination of rigor and empathy to researchers, clinicians, and advocates across the globe. She is especially passionate about amplifying freethinking, thoughtful, and bold science – the kind that pushes boundaries, challenges stigma, and demands to be heard.
