Our Scientists

We at the Pinhead Institute are grateful to work with leading scientists with expertise in everything from Biology and Medicine to Physics and Astronomy and everything in between. Our partner scientists lead demonstrations and hands-on activities in order to enhance the science curriculum of our regional schools, work to increase science awareness among students, strive to stimulate scientific thinking and put a human face on the scientific community. We thank our team of experts for their time, their energy, and their contributions to make science exciting to our student population.
