Dr. Christina M.H. Powell, PhD is the author of Questioning Your Doubts: A Harvard PhD Explores Challenges to Faith (InterVarsity Press).
She works in medical writing management in the pharmaceutical industry (and still actively writes) and is also an ordained Assemblies of God minister and public speaker. She previously worked as a biomedical research scientist at Harvard Medical School, Harvard University and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where she earned her doctorate degree. She taught university courses in microbiology and biochemistry at Penn State University and served on the Board of Trustees of Penn State University (1987-1990) (Photo below taken in State College, Pennsylvania in 1988 when Dr. Powell was 21 years old, engaged to a Penn State student, and known as Christina M. Henke.) She completed her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at Penn State in three years, graduating with honors and with highest distinction in 1988 (although the Braddock scholarship commercial for the 1987 Fiesta Bowl incorrectly captioned her as belonging to the class of ’90, probably because the footage was videotaped during the summer of 1986 after her freshman year, but the caption was placed in 1987.) She stayed on at the University for two additional years, taking graduate classes so she could finish her three-year term as Trustee. She is also the mother of a recent Penn State graduate and a current Penn State student.
