Scientists, Inc. is a nonprofit dedicated to science outreach. Our mission is to create community-based connections between people and science that would not exist otherwise. We make these connections through events such as our national
taste of science festival and event series dedicated to adults. We also record the 2Scientists podcast sharing the stories of scientists and their experiences in research to humanize the people who do the work.
We are 100% volunteer run. A group of diverse individuals brought together through our love for science, so we dedicate our time to share research and the scientific process with our local communities.

Kids get plenty of science festivals - so we make something for adults, for them to play.
taste of science is an events series and annual festival dedicated to bringing scientists out of the lab, in from the field and away from their computers to meet with non-specialist audiences in their favorite places. We are a national organization with community roots. Those involved are hardworking, creative and passionate people dedicated to making science more accessible to everyone.
We are looking for volunteers to come up with innovative ways to engage our audience online. You would help to organize events to break down the notion that science is inaccessible and carried out in the ivory tower. We work to inform our communities who can then make better decisions, based on science, when it comes to their health, the economy and our environment.
We want to engage people through a variety of online platforms to reach people where they are. You can find past examples of online events on our website

This is a great opportunity in which to learn and develop skills in science communication that include networking, web management, project management, and social media presence.
Briefly we'd be looking for folks to help us connect with scientists, get involved in scheduling, seeking sponsorship and donations, and advertising our events to our online community.
