Media Impact Forum

About

At this year's Media Impact Forum, we are going to focus on two distinct but related topics: excellent practice in the communications of scientific information and new ideas in the science of communications.

We could not find a better venue for this exploration–The American Philosophical Society–our nation’s original learned society.

From its earliest days, the American republic has relied on scientific inquiry to propel our nation forward, in all facets of our life–in commerce, national defense, social policy and creative expression, among many other areas.

This forum will help philanthropy focus on the special role of science in our national debates, the importance of sharpening the communications of science, and broader issues about how to understand when communications and storytelling make a difference.
