“Sound Science” is a series that explores curiosity in science with key focus of the Long Island Sound and its people’s ability to continue to live, work and play here and beyond. We create space for them to collaborate to respond to their changing environment.
We want to:
- Recognize that science should be the foundation of decision making for the future of the Long Island Sound region, and beyond.
- Embrace that our understanding of science will change over time as we continue to explore all things big, small and messy that make up our universe
- Foster constructive dialogue within the community so that we may all make informed decisions based on good, sound science.
Support comes from the Solutions Journalism Network, in partnership with Covering Climate Now, Climate Central and Project Drawdown.
