Programs

In June 2022, SLF partnered with SoCal Science Writers on the first West Coast Climate Crisis Symposium, full day of programming to help journalists make new connections, nose out new stories, and hone their craft while reporting on this ever-important topic. You can watch videos of several of the panels any time.

SLF funds seed-level and founder-level projects, providing grants, and forging partnerships that promote creative approaches to science communication, preferably projects at the community level. (Note: SLF is currently updating its grant strategy and is not accepting applications at this time.)
