Abigail Patterson
Abigail is the current Development Officer for Christians in Science. She studied Biological Sciences at St Hilda’s College, University of Oxford and subsequently conducted graduate research in palaeoecology and plant ecology. She has taught Biology at both school and undergraduate level and worked with several conservation charities, including the Earth Trust and the Scottish Wildlife Trust. Abigail is passionate about reading her Bible faithfully whilst accepting current findings of modern science. In particular, she is very interested in the implications of evolutionary biology for Christians and the Christian mandate for environmental stewardship.
