About Our Team
We are local scientists interesting in helping share the cutting edge scientific research with the general public.
Dr. Christine Caputo
Director
Christine holds a PhD in Chemistry and is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at UNH. She first learned about public science outreach as a postdoc in the UK and decided to bring the concept to the NH Seacoast. She hosted the inagural events in the area (starting in 2016) and is excited to see the program expand in 2022.
