SUMMARY:Science Engagement With Faith Perspectives in Informal Science Learning- Symposium at the AAAS Annual Meeting - Boston MA
DESCRIPTION:Who decides how science will shape tomorrow? For scientific and technological advances to truly serve all people\, there must be active engagement with society at large by scientists and policymakers\, as well as educators and scientific institutions. Given growing concerns around social and political polarization on science topics such as vaccines\, climate change\, and gene editing\, there is a need for broad\, inclusive\, and impactful public discourse around science-and-society issues. Religion and spirituality are important elements of individual and community identity\, and science engagement approaches that exclude or ignore these dimensions of human worldview may be less impactful or contribute to further polarization. This session\, organized by the Personal Genetics Engagement & Dialogue (PGED) program\, will explore evidence-based approaches for science engagement with faith communities in informal science learning contexts. Case studies will examine programming at science centers\, seminaries\, and dialogue-focused public events. Presenters and attendees will consider goals\, challenges\, and opportunities for such engagement as well as their approaches for assessing short- and long-term impacts.

SUMMARY:Science Communication and Education at the Intersection of Genetics and Justice - Boston\, MA
DESCRIPTION:Marnie is excited to collaborate with Boston University professor and author Shoumita Dasgupta and Associate Vice President of Education Jeanne Chowning (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center) on a workshop on “Science Communication and Education at the Intersection of Genetics and Justice.” The workshop will be part of the 2025 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)\, which will take place in Boston and will center the theme of “Science Shaping Tomorrow.” Marnie is looking forward to sharing PGED’s perspectives on bridging science and society using conversation as a tool for fostering engagement and empowerment.
