Natalie Wolchover is an award-winning science journalist based in New York [1]. She is a senior writer and editor for Quanta Magazine [2], and has been involved with Quanta's development since its inception in 2013 [1]. Wolchover has written for a variety of magazines and journals, including Quanta Magazine, Nature [3], the New Yorker [4], Popular Science, Seed, LiveScience, Make magazine, among others [1]. Her articles are often re-circulated on popular sites such as Wired [5], Business Insider [6], Nautilus, and the Atlantic. Wolchover writes on numerous topics within the physical sciences: high-energy physics [7], particle physics [8][9], AdS/CFT [10], quantum computing [11], gravitational waves [12], astrophysics [13], climate change [14], etc. She is credited with having interviewed some of the most highly-cited theorists in high energy physics, including Ed Witten [15], Lisa Randall [16], Eva Silverstein [17], Juan Maldecena [18], Joe Polchinski [19], and Nima Arkani-Hamed [20][21].

Education

Wolchover obtained a bachelor's degree in physics from Tufts University [22], during which time she co-authored several publications in non-linear optics [1]. In 2009, after spending a gap year working on an organic farm, and living in a tent, Wolchover went on to study graduate-level physics at the University of California, Berkeley [1][2]. However, she left graduate school during the first year in order to pursue a career in science journalism, and "has never looked back" [1].

Awards and honors

  • 2017 Science Communication Award [23], American Institute of Physics
  • 2016 Excellence in Statistical Reporting Award [24]
  • 2016 Evert Clark / Seth Payne Award [25]
  • Writing featured in The Best Writing on Mathematics 2015 [24]
