ABOUT US
Science Sites, Inc. is a non-profit corporation dedicated to engaging the public in science through the online dissemination of research, with an emphasis on studies concerning life’s Big Questions. We are committed to ensuring that members of the public have easier access to the wealth of important, far-reaching, and provocative research seeking to explain the world as we know—and explore—it.
To achieve these goals, we develop platforms to support the compelling treatment of scientific ideas online. We work directly with scientists at the top of their field to build state-of-the-art, user-friendly websites that allow them to reach new audiences and better communicate with the public. And then we help them publicize their work much more broadly and effectively than before by taking advantage of all the benefits the digital age has to offer.
