Ecology
|
Beginning with her first professional writing job at the University of Alaska, where she covered the arctic sciences, Patricia has used her literary skills to enhance public understanding of science. Her science writing has been published in the Christian Science Monitor and other publications. Her doctoral work at The Union Institute, Quantum Poetics: Science and Spirit in 20th Century American Poetry, focused on applications of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle to contemporary poetics. Her third book of poetry, Dancing with Chaos further explored the intersections of metaphor and science, and her award-winning essay “Physics and Grief” grounded widowhood in the reality of quantum mechanics. Today Patricia teaches ecology as well as writing and interdisciplinary research design at DePaul University; she is writing a memoir describing the retrofitting of an urban home to conserve energy. |
