Illinois Science Council
The Illinois Science Council was founded on the premise that an understanding of the scientific method and of scientific discoveries is crucial to a well-rounded civic life. Science enhances our appreciation of ourselves and of the world around us. Yet, once beyond the high school or college classroom, opportunities for exploring scientific ideas with actual practitioners are rare and hard to find. Science Council programs are intended to be an easy, inexpensive, and non-intimidating way to feed your inner curiosity.
The Council aims to bring science researchers and practitioners face to face with people who want to cultivate their innate curiosity about science – be it medicine, astronomy, botany, paleontology, or any other realm. In this way, the Council provides a forum for people to hear – and ask questions of – scientists about their interesting and important work.
