Illinois Science Council End of Year Drive

For those of you who know me, you know I've always been a "science person". From taking every single math & science class available in high school, to majoring in chemistry and spending all of my summers at McGill University doing research, to pursuing graduate and postdoctoral work in the US, this has always been my thing.  And even when I moved to Chicago over 5 years ago, though I gave up bench science to work first in science education and then in science administration, I still love it. Recently I joined up with the great people of the Illinois Science Council, and couldn't be more excited to help bring science to anyone who is interested to learn about it. But! The ISC needs your help:

Illinois Science Council is an independent* nonprofit that creates fun events covering all areas of science. Science for the curious, science for everyone! 

Eleven years ago, we realized that Chicago had great programming for arts and culture for adults and wonderful STEM programming for children, but not much for adults to engage in and learn about science in a fun and casual way. Illinois Science Council was launched to fill that gap. Every day you can encounter reasons why it’s important for everyone to have a good understanding and appreciation for science. Whether you want to be a smarter consumer or more informed voter, to help your kids with homework, or make sense of science stories in the news, Illinois Science Council is here providing science content that is accessible to anyone, from medical marijuana to microbiome to GMOs

Your donation enables our year-round schedule of engaging, low-cost or free science events. Please support ISC today!

The ISC Associates' Board aims to raise $5,000 by December 31, and I am striving to raise $250 of that. Please consider supporting my efforts to spread science!

* ISC receives no funding from the State of Illinois or City of Chicago. We rely on the generosity of donors like you.
