Join us for a Media Impact Funders-sponsored webinar exploring new ways for funders to engage the public with science and evidence, and advance understanding of science and the scientific process.
Last fall, the Rita Allen Foundation organized a funder collaboration breakfast at the National Academy of Sciences Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium on the Science of Science Communication III. The rich content shared during the high-energy discussions suggested great potential for further collaboration and learning, particularly around popular culture, art and creative spaces, to connect science with people from different backgrounds, experiences and education levels.
To continue the conversation started at the Sackler Colloquium, Media Impact Funders is developing a series of funder conversations to connect grantmakers with research, strategy and practice in science communications.
Explore:
- Ways funders are using popular culture media forms - books, films, new media, radio, television, and theater - to elevate the public's understanding of science
- Ways diverse media forms can connect science and humanities and educate the public
- Insights from Science Sandbox, an initiative of the Simons Foundation designed to inspire deeper interest in science, especially among non-scientists
Speakers
- Greg Boustead, Program Director, Science Sandbox, Simons Foundation
- Doron Weber, Vice President of Programs, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
- Elizabeth Christopherson (Moderator), CEO, Rita Allen Foundation
