SCIENCE COMMUNICATION

Philosophy: We are all born scientists. A scientist is a curious person who wants to explore the world. The goal of science communication is to connect people with exciting discoveries, while stripping away the jargon, assumptions and buzz words.

Connectors: Connectors are the people with whom we connect on this journey to understand the universe. Our key connectors are professional scientists, professionals of related fields, and the public. Students are key connectors, because many of them hold onto the original fascination with the universe we all had as children.

Values: Engagement with people most impacted by weather and climate, unbiased research and exploration, and creating new/ original content that pushes boundaries.
