Betsy Devine (born 1946) is an American journalist, author and blogger. She earned a master's degree in engineering from Princeton University, and according to her self-description, has "many years of immersion in geek sociology, including both Slashdot and Wikipedia flame wars".[2]
She is co-author, with husband Frank Wilczek, of Longing for the Harmonies, an appreciation of modern physics;[3] and also, with biologist Joel E. Cohen, of Absolute Zero Gravity, a collection of science jokes, poems, and stories.[4] About 75 pages taken from her blog were included as "a contribution" to a collection of essays written by Frank Wilczek on various aspects of physics, Fantastic Realities.[5][6]
The official Nobel Prize website links to her weblog for the ongoing family saga of the adventures surrounding Frank Wilczek's winning the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics.[7]
