Christie Wilcox (born 1 July 1985) is the Biologist/Blogging daughter of Computer Go pioneer, author of the book EZ-Go: Oriental Strategy in a Nutshell and programming guru Bruce Wilcox. She is a frequent writer on Nature Network (from the Nature Publishing Group), ScienceBlog.Com and her own blog, Observations of a Nerd.

As a child, Christie lived in Massachusetts, Hawaii, and Vermont. Her parents divorced in 1992, so she split her childhood between the extremes of a successful, working father and a self-employed, struggling mother. She learned from a young age to work for what she wanted, ending up at presteigous schools like Hilltop Montessori School and Concord Academy. She received a full tuition merit scholarship to Eckerd College in 2003, and graduated from there in 2007 with a B.S. with Honors in Marine Science and a Minor in Chemistry.

She is well-known in the Go community through her father and participation and leadership in the American Go Association's annual Go Camps.
