Our mission is to generate an
appreciation for science
and its role in our lives.
ScienceSaves is a nonpartisan effort to promote science appreciation by highlighting the many ways science has unleashed human potential, transformed our lives, and given us the tools to overcome all manner of challenges.

2024 Video Scholarship Winners
What has science done for me or someone I know?
The 2024 ScienceSaves Video Scholarship Contest received hundreds of entries from high school seniors across the US, each one detailing the power of science.
After much discussion and deliberation, our judges have selected the top three videos and designated four honorable mentions.
And this year, we are introducing a new People’s Choice Award to the contest, a $1,000 scholarship prize determined by popular vote.

Debunking Pseudoscience
Pseudoscience is any idea that parades around as scientific but isn’t based on peer-reviewed research. ScienceSaves is pushing back, calling out ideas like anti-vaccination and natural healing.
National Science Appreciation Day
Help us create a day to celebrate science.
Science makes lives better. They are longer, healthier, easier, and fuller due to the advances of science. Yet science gets too little credit for its massive contributions to humanity.
With your help #ScienceSaves is doing something about that!
Thousands of science supporters signed our petition saying they wanted their state to have a day appreciating science and those who work in science fields.
And now, governors across the United States are designating March 26th as National Science Appreciation Day.
