Natalie Ann Wolchover (born October 16, 1986) is a science journalist. [1] She is a senior writer and editor for Quanta Magazine, and has been involved with Quanta's development since its inception in 2013. [1] [2] In 2022 she won a Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting. [3]
Wolchover was born in London, England and later moved to Blanco, Texas. [4]
Wolchover began her career freelancing for Make magazine and Seed, then worked as an intern for Science Illustrated. [5] She then became a staff writer for Life's Little Mysteries where she answered science questions, debunked paranormal claims and fake videos and wrote about new research. [5]
Wolchover has written for publications including Quanta Magazine, Nature, The New Yorker, Popular Science, and LiveScience. [6] [7] [1] Her articles are often syndicated to sites such as Wired, Business Insider, Nautilus, and The Atlantic. [8] [9]
Awards judges have recognized Wolchover's ability to communicate complex ideas such as Bayesian statistics to a general audience. [10]
