Dr Erica Saint Clair Welcome image

I'm Dr. Erica of Rosie Research. First and foremost, I'm a mom of 2 crazy girls, wife of 15 years to Evan, and island girl through and through. I love creating and teaching kids science activities and projects. I earned my PhD in BioPhysics, but when my girls started asking how things worked, I looked around and realized there weren't too many options for high-level science tailored to kids. So I put on my grit pants and decided to make it myself. Honestly, I love it. I love seeing kids eyes light up as they play with invisibility ink. I love the incredible creations my little scientist students make. I love my life! Thanks for visiting! I hope you'll stay awhile and come back often. Read more
