Public Face of Science Workshops
Intensive and substantive workshops have been instrumental to the scope and substance of the Public Face of Science project. The chair, steering committee, and Academy staff appreciate the time and expertise shared by experts (listed below) at these meetings. These working groups gave structure and scope to the project's publications, including the three project reports, an issue of Daedalus, and a report dedicated to Science During Crisis.
