This project is designed to improve communication between scientists and the public focusing on the role of evidence in science. It is a two-year project that includes: 1) implementing a national survey on the public use of science web sites; 2) conducting a national Science Education Outreach Forum bringing together scientists and informal science educators; 3) implementing workshop sessions at a national conference to disseminate lessons learned from the survey and Forum; and 4) developing a prototype website on the role of evidence that will be evaluated for audience engagement and understanding. This project builds on the Exploratorium's prior NSF-funded project (ESI#9980619) developing innovative strategies using the Internet to link scientists and the public using Webcasts, annotated datasets and interactive web resources. Project collaborators include the Pew Internet and American Life Project, Palmer Station, Scripps Oceanographic Institute, FermiLab and the Society of Hispanic Physicists among others. The research and evaluation of the project has the potential for strategic impact by providing new information and models on how science centers can more effectively use the Internet to improve communication between scientists and the public while engaging learners more effectively.

该项目旨在改善科学家和公众之间的沟通，重点是证据在科学中的作用。 这是一个为期两年的项目，其中包括：（1）对公众使用科学网站的情况进行一次全国调查;（2）举办一次全国科学教育外联论坛，将科学家和非正式科学教育工作者聚集在一起;（3）在一次全国会议上举办讲习班，传播从调查和论坛中吸取的经验教训;以及4）开发一个关于证据作用的原型网站，将对该网站的受众参与和理解进行评估。 该项目建立在探索馆先前由国家科学基金会资助的项目（ESI#9980619）的基础上，该项目利用互联网制定创新战略，利用网播、注释数据集和互动网络资源将科学家和公众联系起来。 项目合作者包括皮尤互联网和美国生活项目，帕尔默站，斯克里普斯海洋研究所，费米实验室和西班牙裔物理学家协会等。 该项目的研究和评估具有潜在的战略影响，提供了新的信息和模式，说明科学中心如何更有效地利用互联网，改善科学家和公众之间的沟通，同时更有效地吸引学习者。
