The Pew Charitable Trusts has awarded to the Consortium a grant of $300,000 over three years for a series of forums that will expand public knowledge about the history of pathbreaking scientific developments and their impact on society. The series will draw on the exceptional resources of the Consortium's 23 member institutions across the U.S. and Canada, and provide accessible, fact-based information on timely and relevant topics. The forums will be recorded and archived online, serving as a digital resource for scholars and the public.
