SwipeLife is a two-person editorial operation. The publication does not have a staff of contributors, a rotating roster of freelancers, or unnamed “editorial team” members. The bylines are the people. What you read is what they wrote.
Eleanor Vance — Editor-in-Chief
Eleanor Vance has been an investigative reporter since 2014, with a background in psychology and a decade covering behavioral science for publications that required primary source verification and clinical accuracy. At SwipeLife she covers the areas where the research is most likely to be misrepresented in popular culture: attachment systems, manipulation tactics, and the cultural layer — the discourse, the self-help industry, the ideological claims made in the name of evolutionary psychology. Her dispatches do not offer advice. They document what the research shows and, with equal care, what it does not show.
Coverage areas: Attachment Systems, Manipulation Tactics, Cultural Layer.
Daniel Kestrel — Senior Writer
Daniel Kestrel is a behavioral reporter with a background in clinical psychology. Before joining SwipeLife he worked in applied research settings, which gives his coverage a particular attention to methodology: he is interested in how studies are designed, what they actually measure, and where the gap between finding and popular interpretation opens up. He covers the practical and technological dimensions of modern intimacy — the platforms, the communication mechanics, the digital trust architecture — as well as the lifestyle and behavioral hubs in this expansion pack.
Coverage areas: App Mechanics, Digital Trust, Communication, Body, Status, Style, Dating Game, Brotherhood.
