Heather Whitney

Heather Whitney spends most of her days as Assistant Professor of Physics at Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL. She holds a Ph.D. in physics as well as masters degrees in physics and medical physics from Vanderbilt University. But don’t peg her solely as a scientist: tucked into her CV is a double major in physics and performing and visual arts from King College. She is an unashamed coffee snob, makes a mean chocolate loaf cake, and hopes that her eighth-grade English teacher finds out that she finally does like to write.
