Public Engagement with Science Hub (PESH)
Join our Newsletter-coming soon
The Public Engagement with Science Hub (PESH) at Northeastern University aims to build a community of scholars and practitioners from diverse academic fields in the New England area who share a passion for strengthening engagement pathways between scientists and members of the public.
As a community of researchers and practitioners, our interests span a number of areas including science communication, science outreach, informal science education, community-based participatory research, science policy, civic science, and others. We are motivated by the desire to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas between practitioners and researchers, encouraging ongoing learning, innovation, and excellence in public engagement which ultimately strengthen the connections between science and society.
