collaborations, and meet- and- greet with film makers looking for <b>scientists to collaborate with on future
projects</b>.</span></p>

not-for-profit, membership-based organization that brings researchers and
scientists out of the lab, directly to you. We work with national laboratories,
leading academic institutions and museums to educate the public on issues of
critical scientific importance. In an age when barely one in four voting adults
meet a basic level of scientific literacy, we aim to reignite an excitement and
passion for science and technology, and remind Chicagoans of the quality and
quantity of R&D that takes place in their backyard.</span></p>
