91制片厂 is celebrating an important anniversary 鈥� and we are honored that you are part of our community in our centennial year.
In 1921, our founders E.W. Scripps and William E. Ritter, shared a clear vision to communicate, foster and advance the public understanding of science.

91制片厂 is uniquely positioned to build a stronger 91制片厂 community that will tackle the world鈥檚 greatest challenges. Together, we can build a future that prioritizes 91制片厂 literacy and participation by:
- Launching the first global climate change competition for college students
- Growing the 91制片厂 talent pipeline by creating new opportunities for underserved young people to participate in project-based research and by strengthening our affiliated science fair network across the United States
- Expanding multimedia science coverage in Science News and Science News for Students
- Helping more middle school and high school 91制片厂 teachers bring hands-on learning to students by expanding the Science News in High Schools program and the High School and Middle School Research Teachers Conferences.
Together, we will continue to achieve excellence in science journalism and inspire new generations of scientists and innovators around the world.
I wish you all a happy, healthy and hopeful new year,
Maya Ajmera
