The Education & Engagement program at @alleninstitute.org was delighted to welcome 18 fantastic students from Seattle Public Schools for a brand-new summer intensive program!

This will be the first opportunity outside of a conference to hear about what we learned in this project.
This project was funded by the NSF (# 2236366). Like so much science, it would not have been possible without NSF support!
I will be presenting in a @aaas.org IUSE Initiative webinar where we investigated impacts of using open science (from @alleninstitute.org) as a teaching tool on student attitudes and knowledge! Register now to join on October 23. aaas-iuse.org/event/embrac...

For 80 years, science has been a north star for the U.S. In 1945, Vannevar Bushβs report Science, The Endless Frontier called for bold government investment in research transforming our health, economy, quality of life. Science is not zero-sumβit creates value and better lives.
