We believe that empowering people with a better understanding of science helps them live more safe and productive lives.  It It also helps people better participate as citizens and leaders.  Our nation and our world depends on science and technology and understanding both is critical to our future. 

We believe that knowing how science “works” and how to apply the knowledge it generates is critically important.  We strive to share reliable and vetted knowledge with both children and adults.

We also believe in diversity and inclusion and seek to share knowledge with all people and all communities.
