Betsy Devine (born 1946) is an American journalist, author and blogger. She earned a master’s degree in engineering from Princeton University, and according to her self-description, has "many years of immersion in geek sociology, including both Slashdot and Wikipedia flame wars".http://wikimania2006.wikimedia.org/wiki/Presenters/Betsy_Devine

She is co-author, with husband Frank Wilczek, of Longing for the Harmonies, an appreciation of modern physics; and also, with biologist Joel E. Cohen, of Absolute Zero Gravity, a collection of science jokes, poems, and stories. About 75 pages taken from her blog were included as "a contribution" to a collection of essays written by Frank Wilczek on various aspects of physics, Fantastic Realities.

The official Nobel Prize website links to her weblog for the ongoing family saga of the adventures surrounding Frank Wilczek’s winning the 2004 Nobel Prize in physics.
