Katy Love

Katy’s earliest memories include wrapping a towel around her shorts-clad legs to walk to school when her bus broke down in Saudi Arabia and driving a go-kart the wrong way on a one-way track in Denmark’s Legoland. Living and traveling in multiple countries, all before age seven, taught her that there is no one true way. Her jobs have included providing hot dogs and root beer floats to suburbanites, herring and squid to Stellar sea lions and wicker furniture and pearl necklaces to the rich and famous of the Hamptons. While pursuing her degree in marine biology, Katy spent a summer in Quebec mashing and analyzing large chunks of whale blubber for evidence of PCBs. It quickly taught her that although she loves knowing about science, she’s not that enamored with doing it. After completing her degree, her first foray into the world of media was to write a business manual, Innovative Practices in Human Resources. She found it neither innovative nor something she was willing to practice so Katy went back to school to pursue a Master’s in science journalism. She has found that with a degree in science journalism she can learn and write about anything from pediatric drugs to mapping empathy in the human brain. When not glued to her computer, Katy is usually found curled up with a book or attempting to complete one of a half dozen partially-finished craft projects so she can start a new one.
