“It is a difficult job [to create a museum] but more difficult to explain first rate science to the public. I would like to introduce the person that is mostly responsible for it: Tom Bowman. He was able to translate very abstruse scientific ideas into playful ideas.”
— Dr. Daniel E. Koshland, Jr.

“Scientists can't make policy; they can only provide sound science as an input to wise policy.”
–Dr. Richard Somerville, San Diego Union Tribune. February 14th, 2007
Scientists want everyone—policymakers, business leaders, news editors, entertainers, and the public—to make wise choices about climate change. We help them by explaining real science in clear, simple, and engaging ways.
There is no escaping the fact that people simplify; it’s human nature. Our approach is to help people simplify more effectively. By illuminating the most important ideas and engineering key insights, we help non-scientists understand and employ scientific results to make better decisions.
Bowman has set new standards for effective communication through work with scientists from the National Academy of Sciences, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the Aquarium of the Pacific, NOAA, and the electric utility industry. Through these collaborations, we have delivered authentic results, without bias, in ways that everyone can understand and use.
