A new seminar series for everyone at NIH with an interest in science education.
Please join us!
We recognize that NIH can be a valuable contributor to the conversations surrounding science education. A goal of the series is to promote thinking and discussion on the NIH campus about current science education topics, including those related to research, policy, and science ed practices in other countries. We anticipate a diverse audience that will include people from a wide range of positions at NIH, from scientists and science educators to people who are generally interested in science education. Each session is intended to be an intimate discussion between the audience and the presenter.
