Skype A Scientist - Squid Facts

The mission of Skype a Scientist is simple, yet impactful: to make science accessible and fun through personal connections with scientists and public art. We are an educational nonprofit with a focus on connecting people with science in fun and meaningful ways, making science education available and engaging for everyone. Our core values are education, succinct and clear communication, inclusion, diversity, and honesty. We attempt to address intentional scientific misinformation, a lack of diversity in scientific disciplines, a lack of trust in experts and science in general, and a lack of communication skills in many science professionals through our work.

​Skype a Scientist has a database of thousands of scientists and helps them connect with classrooms, families, libraries, scout troops, and more all over the globe! We give students the opportunity to get to know a real scientist and get the answers to their questions straight from the source.
