Form 990-ez, Part III, Line 28

Science sites is dedicated to engaging and educating the public through the online dissemination of scientific research into life's big questions. To accomplish these goals, the organization develops digital platforms to support the compelling treatment of scientific ideas. Science sites helps scientists use the internet and social media to reach new audiences and better communicate with the general public. Science sites achieves this in two main ways. The first is through its signature program, websites for scientists, which builds best-in-class websites customized for each individual scientist and research-based project. Founded by science writers, science sites takes a journalistic approach to website creation, emphasizing clean, elegant design and clear, accessible language. It fills a void in the world of science communication. Too many brilliant researchers with too much important research have an unsatisfactory web presence-or none at all. Giving them an effective, user-friendly digital platform and improving how their work is represented online focuses greater attention on their research and advances the public appreciation and understanding of science. The organization's personalized websites are optimized for both the researcher and the online audience. They are easy to access, easy to digest, and reflect the richness of the scientist's work. Each site involves editorial guidance and content strategy, social media integration, and a professional yet cutting-edge design with intuitive navigation and modern functionalities. As of june 2014, the organization has launched more than 30 sites for scientists, including martin nowak, rex jung, john cacioppo, ian hodder, cristine legare, elaine howard ecklund, katherine milkman, and azim shariff. Science sites is also in the process of launching a content site that brings together and further promotes the work of scientists from a range of disciplines across the academic spectrum. Like the websites for individual scientists, this "hub site," called sabq (science and the big questions), is designed to publicize scientific research broadly and effectively, and help the public better understand what scientists are studying and thinking about, and why it matters. Updated with original content daily, sabq will be a destination site featuring science-related news, blogs, commentary, and q&as. It will be a complement to the individual sites, further helping scientists reach and engage a wider audience.
