Renee Sher (Founder, Science Education Director and Owner)
She recalls, with complete clarity, an elementary school teacher who opened her eyes to the excitement of science, and kindled her lifelong science focus. After receiving a B.S. in molecular biology at San Jose State, she worked in biotech, starting work in a clean room, then in the lab. Her career continued with Oral-B, first in the quality assurance labs, then in the regulatory compliance department. The Sher’s first child, Ben, was born in late 1995, and Jessica came along in 1998. Renee stayed home, immersing herself in the local community surrounding her children. In 2000 she threw a birthday party for Ben and 20 of his friends, and the theme was science. The kindergartners and their parents were impressed. That summer, free science lessons were held for those children, and the next school year, Renee moved into the schools. Robert Sher (CEO and Owner)
