Communicating Science

[ultimate_heading main_heading=”Why We Need to Talk About Science” main_heading_color=”#ffffff” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:50px;”][/ultimate_heading]

Did you know that according to a recent survey, at least 27% of Americans are still somewhat skeptical about science?

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital are making amazing discoveries that have the potential to transform science and medicine, but we aren’t always great at telling the public about our work and why it matters.

Through workshops, competitions and community events, we’re committed to helping our researchers find engaging new ways to share their work with the public.

We hope you’ll join us in spreading the word about science and the valuable role it plays in improving healthcare here at Mass General and across the globe.
