She has always enjoyed exploring the fascinating dialogue between science and serious, intelligent faith, and has run workshops and contributed many talks on this topic to the general public. She lives in a country house outside Hamilton. In formal contexts it is appropriate to use her full name, but in person she prefers her lifelong nickname.
