• Engaging the community: The Institute hosts community events including lectures by noted science authors that are designed to stimulate science learning and discussion.

• Training the scientists of tomorrow: Over the past decade, nearly a thousand researchers, from predoctoral students to postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists, have trained at Wistar.
