How does science show up in our day-to-day lives? For many of us, science is not always top of mind. But science can be a tool to affect the things and people we care about. Our work is to enable science engagement at the community level – we fund people who, while maybe not scientists themselves, have deep connections to the place they call home. They’ve built a network of collaborators – from fellow community leaders, parents and caregivers, educators and more. They lead the work to make connections between science and their immediate environments.
