Highlights/Bio:

Liz Heinecke has loved science since she was old enough to inspect her first butterfly. After working in molecular biology research for ten years and getting her master’s degree, Liz left the lab to kick off a new chapter in her life as a stay-at-home mom. Soon she found herself sharing her love of science with her three kids as they grew, journaling their science adventures on her educational KitchenPantryScientist platform. Her desire to spread her enthusiasm for science to others soon led to regular TV appearances, speaking engagements, and a new career as an author.

Most days, you’ll find Liz at home in Minnesota, writing, creating science experiments, singing, playing banjo, running, and feeding hungry teenagers. Follow her @lizheinecke on Instagram, @kitchpantrysci on Twitter, at Liz Heinecke, The Kitchen Pantry Scientist on Facebook and on YouTube at The Kitchen Pantry Scientist.

Liz graduated from Luther College with a B.A. in art and received her master’s degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
