The Franklin Institute believes that science is for everyone and should reflect everyone. Science has the power to connect people, build empathy through its shared impact on our lives, and develop solutions for the common good. Science thrives when people’s identities and perspectives come together to contribute to and advance discovery. However, not all communities have the same access to participation. Today, we live in a world where the interconnections between science and society have never been clearer. Situated in our beautifully diverse Philadelphia region, our organization is committed to doing more to mirror, engage, and uplift the multiplicity of people we serve.
