Summary/Conclusion: SME Strategies
To summarize:
- Science is an important element in the largest challenges facing our society today;
- Scientists are isolated and marginalized from public problem solving and decision-making;
- There is a gap between the scientific community and civic, business and religious leaders as well as popular culture as a whole;
- Closing the gap will require carefully crafted messages, sophisticated media distributed through a variety of channels, and face-to-face engagement at the community level.
Science Media and Engagement (SME) Strategies provides consulting and project management services that help outreach providers design and implement outreach strategies that scale. We also work on specific programs or projects: we manage, organize or participate in interdisciplinary teams that create engagement protocols, curricula, media and scalable outreach programs with impact.
SME Strategies leverages the ideas, voices and stories of the best scientists, the skills of our best science writers and filmmakers, as well as the network of formal and informal science educators and sponsors to stimulate and inform public dialogues between scientists and non-scientists at the frontiers dividing science, technology and society.
