Sign the I <3 Science Pledge

I <3 Science because...

scientific exploration is a way to understand the amazing world around us. From the building blocks of matter to the far reaches of space, science enriches our lives by expanding the boundaries of our knowledge and exposing us to the awe-inspiring universe we live in.

science is the key to solving many of our world’s problems. From hunger and disease to climate change and the preservation of vulnerable species and habitats, science is essential to tackling the most difficult challenges of today and creating a better tomorrow.

science is an integral part of our children’s education. Science education helps to instill a sense of wonder and curiosity in children, gives them the tools for exploration, and prepares them to be the innovators of the future.

I support the Smithsonian’s work in scientific innovation, research and discovery and value the resources that Smithsonian museums give to our children, our nation and the world.
