Carrie
Lock
frequencies editor
 As
a child, Carrie used to mix household chemicals to see what new
potions she could concoct, scaring her parents both with her results
and her early interest in science. During her frustrating years
in an engineering Ph.D. program, she would annoy her academic
advisor by reading fascinating new studies entirely unrelated
to her own research. Realizing she loved learning about science
but hated actually doing it, she fled the world of scientific
academia to embark on a more interesting career, writing about
such topics as science in the courtroom, science policy, and of
course, wine. She plans to do further investigations into oenology
and viniculture after she relocates to the Bay Area in early 2005.
Carrie also enjoys cooking, criticizing bad science on television,
and IMAX movies, especially in 3D. Her articles have appeared
in Science News, the Boston Phoenix, and Science Editor. Carrie
recently took up scuba diving and is looking forward to seeing
hammerhead sharks off the coast of Tobago next March.
