Scientific research starts in the lab, but it shouldn’t end there.
How can we use our findings to solve real problems? How can we translate theory into action?
The Center for Science Communication Research (SCR) makes science useful by exploring how to share discoveries with the public. Through research, education, and outreach, we enhance the conversation between scientists and society.
Our Vision
To lead and teach about cutting-edge science communication research that improves evidence-based decision-making about complex problems.
Our Mission
To make complex science useful to improve people’s lives.
Who We Are
At SCR, we do our work at intersections: We’re researchers and practitioners, scientists and problem solvers, innovators and explorers. We believe listening is just as important as informing.
