Christine Sutton is a particle physicist who has edited the CERN Courier since 2003. She retired from CERN in 2015, consequently stepping down from her position as editor of the magazine.

Contents

Sutton was previously based at the University of Oxford, working in the Particle Physics Group and tutoring physics at St Catherine's College.

She was Physical Sciences Editor for New Scientist magazine in the early 1980s, and has authored several non-fiction science books, most recently (with Frank Close and Michael Marten) The Particle Odyssey (1987, 2002).
