About Adam Aleksic
Hi! I’m Adam Aleksic. I’m a linguist and influencer publishing videos as The Etymology Nerd to an audience of over three million. I have a degree in government and linguistics from Harvard University, where I served as President of the Harvard Undergraduate Linguistics Society, and I’ve been making linguistics content in some capacity for over eight years.
Professionally, I’m interested in the intersections between culture and technology. I am the author of the NYT bestselling book Algospeak, and I have written for the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Financial Times.
