SCi IS A SPACE FOR LEARNING, CONVERSATION, AND COMMUNITY
We believe science is at its best when scientists are active citizens, who listen and learn from many people. SCi trains scientists to become responsible participants in their communities and strives to create a scientific culture that supports inclusivity, equity, cooperation, and service.
