Science Matters
Science Matters is a major public awareness and engagement campaign designed to rekindle a national sense of urgency and action among schools and families about the importance of science education and science literacy. Science Matters builds on the success of the Building a Presence for Science program, first launched in 1997 as an e-networking initiative to assist teachers of science with professional development opportunities. The Building a Presence for Science network—now the Science Matters network—reaches readers in 34 states and the District of Columbia.

—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“What matters poverty? What matters anything to him who is “enamoured” of our art? Does he not carry in himself every joy and every beauty?”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
