Science Sandbox
Science Sandbox is dedicated to inspiring a deeper interest in science, especially among those who don’t think of themselves as science enthusiasts. You don’t have to be a scientist to think like one.
Outreach
Outreach initiatives extend the Simons Foundation core mission by disseminating scientific knowledge, engaging individuals in the process of science, promoting opportunities for learning science and math concepts, and, encouraging philanthropy that supports basic science research.
Quanta Magazine
Quanta is an editorially independent magazine that is devoted to providing informative and accessible coverage of current issues in mathematics and basic science.
Simons Foundation Lectures
The foundation’s Wednesday evening lecture program hosts researchers from across science and mathematics disciplines to present their work to public audiences. Video recordings of the lectures, which take place at the foundation’s headquarters in New York City, are preserved — and freely available — on the foundation’s website.
Math for America
The Simons Foundation is pleased to support the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), and the National Academy of Sciences, as well as Math for America, the Science Festival Foundation, the National Museum of Mathematics, and, at Stony Brook University, the Simons Summer Research Fellowships and Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URECA) Program.
