End of year drive for ISC

It's the time of year for giving, and I hope you'll consider making a gift to the Illinois Science Council.  ISC events encourage science learning and showcase scientists who work in and around Chicago. In the era of fake news and climate-change deniers, I'm happy to volunteer for an organization that invites the public to engage with scientists.

Below is a message below from the ISC:

The ISC is an independent* nonprofit organization 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 $300 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.
