After working in molecular biology research for 10 years and earning her master's degree, she left the lab to kick off a new chapter in her life as a stay-at-home mom. Soon, she found herself sharing her love of science with her three kids as they grew, chronicling their science adventures on her KitchenPantryScientist website. Her desire to share her enthusiasm for science led to regular television appearances, an opportunity to serve as an Earth Ambassador for NASA, and the creation of an iPhone app. Her goal is to make it simple for parents to do science with kids of all ages, and for kids to experiment safely on their own. Liz graduated from Luther College and received her master's degree in bacteriology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is the author of \u003ci\u003eKitchen Science Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKitchen Science Lab for Kids: Edible Edition\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOutdoor Science Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSTEAM Lab for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSheet Pan Science, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLittle Learning Labs: Kitchen Science for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e.

Working from her charming 1920s studio, Kelly Anne loves creating a wide range of work, from children's books to decorative greeting cards and gifts. Growing up with a biologist mother, Kelly has had an appreciation for science and nature her entire life, and because of that, she enjoys creating the portraits for the Kitchen Pantry Scientist series. When not drawing, Kelly Anne can be found trail running in the forest, playing with her dogs, and adventuring with her husband.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Quarry Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50649402114322,"sku":"9781631598326","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ef80be1d-7db9-4fa2-921c-d7fcab08d661.jpg?v=1733263185","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-kitchen-pantry-scientist-biology-for-kids-science-experiments-and-activities-inspired-by-awesome-biologists-past-and-present-with-25-illustrate-9781631598326","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
