Draft:Center for Public Engagement with Science

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



The Center for Public Engagement with Science (PEWS) is an interdisciplinary center at the University of Cincinnati.[1][2][3][4] Founded in 2017 by Dr. Angela Potochnik[5], who currently serves as its director, it functions as an interface between scientists and the public in and around the greater Cincinnati area. Its main activities include science communication, formal and informal science education, as well as scientific work with local communities.[6][7][8][9] PEWS partners with various local organizations, such as the Cincinnati Museum Center, the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, Cincinnati Public Schools, the Cincinnati Astronomical Society, and the FC Cincinnati Foundation.[10]
