I have an M.S. in Bacteriology and an undergraduate degree in art.  After doing medical research for ten years, I now stay at home in Edina, Minnesota with my three kids, culturing more germs than ever!

Science can be as easy as baking.  I want to encourage parents to open up their kitchen cabinets, stir up some science with their kids, and feed those hungry minds.

Between experiments, I blog about science news and food, write middle grade novels and sing and play electric bass in a garage band called “The 952.”  You can email me at  kitchenpantryscientist@earthlink.net.
