ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Stephanie Fine Sasse
Stephanie specializes in the “in-between stuff”. She has a knack for synthesis and collaboration — putting pieces together in novel, strategic, and complementary ways. As Executive Director of The People’s Science, she leads the development of interdisciplinary educational programs aimed at breaking down barriers between science and society. She also works as a consultant, designs informal learning environments, creates online curriculum, and leads seminars at Harvard Graduate School of Education. A researcher by training, she also works in the Affective Neuroscience & Development Lab at Harvard University, where she spends her days learning about social and emotional development across adolescence and into early adulthood. The end game? Leverage our understanding of self, others, and the nature of 21st century information to develop programs that make the world a little nicer than we found it. In her free time, she designs super nerdy stuff.
