Heying taught at The Evergreen State College for 15 years, designing curriculum around the scientific method and including trips to remote sites in the neotropics. She and Bret Weinstein resigned in 2017 after violent protests on campus, and she came to national attention around that time. She also writes a newsletter called Natural Selections.
