Cultivating curiosity and appreciation for science and nature one giggle at a time.

About the Author

Hi, I’m Katie. I’m the author and illustrator of Beatrice the Biologist. I’m a former high school biology teacher who simply loves to talk, write, and read about science.

I live in Los Angeles with my beer-brewing husband, squirrel-hating dog, and baby-being daughter.

I co-host a podcast called Science Brunch with my dear friend Mae Prynce. We talk about the lives of scientists and go on probably too many tangents.

My first book, What’s in Your Genes?, was published in 2014. It’s a conversational overview of genetics with lots of jokes and doodles. You should definitely read it. I hear it’s rather good.

I also designed a science-ish iPhone/iPad game called Amoeboid, along with the dynamic duo at Tip Tok.

Yay, science and nature!
