Woman in Library
Kids know and love her from our Mad Science workshops and camps: Margaret Liberti is introducing an ALL NEW service, which combines a love of cooking with the amazing elements of science! 

Margaret grew up in the kitchen with her Papa (dad), and in his pizzeria! Food has always been her passion, and as she went through school, science became an additional passion. She went to college to become a biology/chemistry teacher, and taught at a local SUNY school for a decade. Margaret has authored a study guide for a publisher, as well as her own lab manual for a non-majors biology course. She was recognized by SUNY with a Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in teaching. Teaching science has always been her professional passion, while cooking has been her personal passion. Out of a desire to combine these two passions, The Science Chef was born!
