About us
The Civic Science Media Lab (CS Media Lab) is working to map the civic nature of science which pertains to the interactions between the scientific enterprise and local communities in solving real-world problems and fostering informed decision-making. Why? Well, navigating the rapidly changing civic nature of science is incredibly difficult. Through the practice of civic science journalism, the primary goal is to make new knowledge, lived experiences, activities, behaviors, roles, motivations, and responsibilities across the landscape of civic science more accessible, informative, and actionable for interested parties such as scientists across different career stages, science engagement practitioners (science communicators, science journalists, science educators, funders, entrepreneurs) and local community leaders.
