José Ramos Vivas is a microbiologist, researcher and professor of Medical Microbiology at the University of Oviedo, Spain. He writes for readers who want to understand the world around them and distinguish scientific evidence from claims that merely sound scientific.

His research focuses on bacteria and antibiotic resistance. His books explore subjects ranging from the fascinating world of microorganisms and the threat of superbugs to critical thinking and health misinformation. He combines scientific rigour with accessible explanations, everyday examples and questions that encourage readers to look beyond the headlines.

He is the author of «Superbacterias», «El destructor de negacionistas» and «Charlatanes en tu pódcast», among other popular science books. His latest book, «Charlatanes en tu pódcast», examines how discussions about nutrition, supplements, longevity and wellness can use studies and scientific terminology to present claims as established facts when the evidence does not support them.

He holds a degree in Biology, a master’s degree in Molecular Biology and Biomedicine, and two doctorates, from the University of León and the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. He combines research and teaching with science communication.

His books are for curious readers: people who want to understand how we know what we know, ask better questions and recognise when persuasive claims outrun the evidence.
