Speak Up

For Science

We envision a world where everyone has the power to use science to make lives better.

We live in a time when long-accepted scientific facts are being questioned. People have lost trust in major institutions and are grappling with knowing who to turn to, especially with inquiries related to our health, our climate, and our future. 

While research has shown that museums are one of the most trusted institutions in the country, these once-revered sources of truth are still facing roadblocks. Now — more than ever — we need your support to keep the museum at the forefront of scientific research and STEM education. When we succeed, we all benefit from a community that embraces curiosity, diverse perspectives, and the challenge of discovery. 

Speaking up for science starts with your story. Whether it’s a discovery that inspired you, a teacher who sparked your curiosity, or a moment science made a difference — we want to hear it.
