Science in Action originated as one of the first television programs on science in the 1950’s and it was produced right here at the California Academy of Sciences! Now, Science in Action encompasses media screens on the museum floor, a website and podcasts, guest lecture programs and our Thursday night science mixers. We gather and disseminate content through our partners, local programs, other media and Academy staff. Our goal is to increase public interest in and understanding of contemporary and everyday science issues leading to greater scientific awareness and literacy.

We also encourage public feedback; please feel free to comment below and let us know what you think.

Every quarter we also include in the Science in Action podcast a program which we call Sky Tour. It’s your personal tour of the night-time sky with Bing Quock of Morrison Planetarium.
