Wiki Version:
ABSTRACT Science Connected, a bootstrapped 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was founded in response to a question: if science is for everyone, why are there so many paywalls around it? As a grad student, I had access to fantastic research and information that many of my fellow citizens would never see. On the other side of that fence were researchers who struggled to share their discoveries with the world. This presentation discusses the progress, scope, and impact of Got Science, our online magazine, which makes science accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. Whether you’re a member of an institution doesn’t matter: if you have an interest in the sciences, Got Science enables you to participate in scientific education and conversation. By cooperating with researchers and faithfully representing their work, this publication aims to expand scientific discourse beyond its traditional boundaries in a responsible and sustainable way. GotScience is building bridges between complex scientific discussions and accessible ideas for the future by delivering comprehensible research findings to the public for free. This volunteer-powered science communication project translates complex research findings into accessible insights so that everyone can work toward a sustainable future. Impact and Results: At the time of writing this proposal, we have collaborated with researchers, natural history museums, and citizen science projects to bring reliable, comprehensible science to a lay-audience of nearly 5,000 readers per month. We’ve also provided more than 200 teachers with free science education enrichment materials to supplement middle school and high school curricula.
