Prior to BioLogos, she served as professor and chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Calvin College. She often speaks to churches, universities and conferences about the relationships between science and Christian faith. Her co-authored book Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design is used by many Christian high schools and colleges as a guide for navigating debates over creation and evolution.
