OUR MISSION
The mission of Skype a Scientist is simple, yet impactful: to make science accessible and fun through personal connections with scientists. We are an educational entity with a focus on connecting the general public with scientific disciplines in fun and meaningful ways, making science education available and engaging for everyone. Our core values are education, succinct and clear communication, inclusion, diversity, and honesty, and we attempt to address intentional scientific mis-education, a lack of diversity in scientific disciplines, a lack of trust in experts and science in general, and a lack of communication skills in many science professionals through our services and organization.
