Join the Museum of Science TONIGHT for an evening of community and dialogue, including an introduction by Brian Bergstein, editor for the Ideas section of The Boston Globe.

Science and democracy need each other to thrive – and both require public trust. In a time of polarization and misinformation, how can we come together to create a new era of scientific and democratic participation? To value their symbiotic relationship? To get back to the basics of what they need to thrive?

The event is TONIGHT - Thursday, January 9, 2025 | Reception: 6:00pm / Program: 7:00pm | Free with pre-registration
