Bringing people together through science. Our mission is to create unique connections between people and science. Science is not an abstract concept, most people will use scientific principles every day without realizing. The work that scientists do has a direct impact on our lives. We'd like to help more people understand how science is carried out and to develop an appreciation for its relevance. We want to foster that feeling of wonder and excitement that scientists have learning about the world around us. To achieve our aims, we develop programs that encourage researchers to begin conversations outside of their comfort zones and to welcome non-scientists into these spaces.
