Science House is building network of scientists who are experts in their fields. Take a look at some of the people in the Science House network so far and visit their personal pages where they talk about what they do, mentors who have inspired them, exciting moments that got them hooked on science as well as everything else in their lives that's important, fun and challenging.
Science House has many more scientists in the pipeline - check out who's coming soon to the website. If you're interested in being photographed and featured on our website, please email us. We'd love to hear from you!
