Suds & Science with Vermont Center for Ecostudies and JAM

For the upcoming 2025 season (January through May) we are excited to announce that Suds & Science will be held in vibrant, downtown White River Junction at the incredible Putnam's vine/yard! Putnam's is a lush space, filled with plants, and offers light food and a full bar with the best wine menu around. We'll have a microphone and speaker this season as well, to ensure that you can clearly hear our visiting scientists. Bring the whole family--kids are welcomed at Putnam's. We are excited to bring the science to downtown, and Jason and crew can't wait to see you there! Once again, Suds & Science will be filmed by JAM, thanks to National Science Foundation funding provided by Dan Olsen. It takes a village doesn't it, folks?

Each month (from January through May) Suds & Science provides you with the opportunity to interact with a scientific expert in their field. Suds & Science isn't some boring academic talk with mindless PowerPoint slides. No. Thank. You. Instead, picture a scientist standing in your living room--talking with you and your friends. Engage an expert, ask questions, and leave knowing more than you did when you walked in. All talks are free and appropriate for all ages.

Reach out to our longtime host Jason Hill (jhill@vtecostudies.org) with any questions, and please introduce yourself to Jason. All talks are from 7-8 pm (typically a 40 minute talk + questions), but come join Jason beforehand and stay afterwards to keep the discussion going.

Meet our Master Gardener:

Lia has always been fascinated by nature. After growing up in Colorful Colorado, she found herself in the Adirondacks and fell in love with the Northeast. While traveling and cooking in Alaska, Montana and Telluride, Lia learned a deeper sense of appreciation for the plants surrounding her. She decided to leave seasonal life and settle down in the beautiful Connecticut River Valley. Here, she became Certified in Sustainable Landscape Design and eventually became a Master Gardener for the state of Vermont. Devoted to her craft, she spends her summers gardening and teaching here at Putnam’s Vineyard or in the White Mountains, where she enjoys kayaking and birding. Lia plans to continue learning about the world around her for many years to come, and hopes you will join her on this journey!
