Dr. Hazari dons his colorful lab coat and goofy goggles to bring the fun and wonder of science to kids of all ages. Join this kid-friendly chemist as he demonstrates jaw-dropping, mind-bending, awe-inspiring experiments in front of your very eyes. Be prepared–you may become part of the experiment!

Now retired as Director of Labs at the University of Tennessee, Knoxvillle, Dr. Hazari isn't slowing down. He works with science teachers in the region and has been a mainstay at our Children's Festival of Reading for years!
