Liz Heinecke, Neighbor

Liz Heinecke has an M.S. in Bacteriology and an undergraduate degree in art. After doing medical research for ten years, she now stays at home in Edina with her three kids, culturing more germs than ever!

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

Between experiments, Liz blogs about science news and food, teaches microbiology to nursing students, attempts to write middle grade novels and sings and plays electric bass in a garage band called “The 952.” You can email Liz at kitchenpantryscientist@earthlink.net.
