About Kimberley
Kimberley Vanessa Cheung is a software engineer, educator in biotechnology, and professional athlete. She created BioAstrocode magazine to make AI×biology legible for millions of curious readers — and precise enough for researchers.
Her training background informs how she covers human health and performance: what holds up in evidence, not just what trends on social media. She writes long-form features on brain–computer interfaces, bio-computing, human health and performance, sci-fi and culture, open science, and the ethics of augmentation.
Every article links primary sources: peer-reviewed papers, FDA trials, NASA and NIH programs, and established reporting. The goal is authority through evidence — not hype cycles.

BioAstrocode magazine
Biology is becoming programmable. AI is entering the body — through implants, wearables, models of our cells, and tools that promise enhanced performance. The gap between a headline and a primary source has never been wider.
BioAstrocode exists for curious readers who care about their bodies and their futures: human health, performance, programmable biology, and the films, music, and stories that frame how we talk about both — explained clearly, with the receipts attached.
Editorial approach
“Bold enough for the curious. Precise enough for the lab notebook.”
WIRED-style energy, MIT Tech Review depth. Every story has main points upfront, sourced sections, and an honest limits section where the evidence thins.
Editorial standardsWhat we cover
Three beats — bio + computing, human health & performance, and culture — from the lab bench to the screen and the training floor.
Health & Performance
Human health, longevity, wearables, brain–computer interfaces, training, and augmentation — what works, what is hype, and what matters to your body.
Culture
Sci-fi, film, music, and culture where biology, AI, and human enhancement hit the mainstream — from Blade Runner to the lab.
Our values
Rigor first
Every story is fact-checked against primary sources. We cite papers, talk to practitioners, and distinguish hype from evidence.
Real vs hype
Augmentation and AI×bio attract bold claims. We label what is FDA-track, peer-reviewed, or investigational — and what is marketing.
Science meets culture
From Blade Runner to the lab bench — we connect what people watch, hear, and share with what researchers are actually building.
Open by default
We champion open science, reproducible methods, and accessible explanations of complex research.
