Truth is enduring. Facts are enlightening. And knowledge can indeed be power. But power need not be knowledgeable. And in a world that faces daunting challenges and profound opportunities, knowledge—scientific knowledge—is our most potent source for inspiring the next generation of informed leaders and brightly illuminating the path forward.
The World Science Festival is at the forefront of bringing cutting edge scientific ideas to a broad public. The Festival’s online content—from probing discussions of quantum entanglement and black holes, to insights into manipulating the human genome and defending the species against pandemics—has now surpassed 100 million views, delivering over 33 million hours of expert commentary on the most provocative and relevant discoveries of our age.
As the year end approaches, please consider supporting the World Science Festival. Your gift—of any size—will help the Festival reach its vital mission of making science a focal point of cultural conversations and moving science to the top of our national priorities. And thanks to the generosity of the Simons Foundation, all gifts will be matched, doubling their impact.
Thank you for your support. Best wishes for the New Year.
