Author of Head First Physics
Heather studied physics in Manchester, gaining a first class honours degree. She likes explaining how stuff works and persuading people to send her chocolate in the post. Her first foray into science communication was via the BaBar Particle Physics Teaching Package. She followed this up with a Ph.D. in the grey area between physics and biochemistry, but got fed up of sharing a fridge with petri dishes and moved on from the lab into education and Head First Physics.
When not explaining how stuff works, Heather likes to play extreme sports such as chess and cricket, play with sliders on a sound desk, or play the fool while running school chess clubs (in the name of teaching of course).
