About The Cohort
Science In Vivo is a grant-funded project managed by the Experimental Practice team at the MIT Museum.
Since 2017, Science In Vivo has supported teams across the U.S. as they find new ways to integrate science engagement into existing public gatherings. While these teams all have experience with community outreach, Science In Vivo asks them to go beyond business-as-usual and find ways to participate in culturally meaningfully ways. This active participation is called situated engagement. If community outreach is about leaving home base to go where the people are, situated engagement is about taking the next step and doing what the people do.
Situated engagement holds the potential to transform science outreach and science-first organizations in ways that ultimately benefit local communities. The Science In Vivo project is designed to learn more about situated engagement and inspire others to unlock those benefits. This website is the first attempt to bring that learning together in one place. If the lessons shared here appear to be messy, it is because they are connected directly to real lived experiences.
All public-facing Science In Vivo activity documented here took place before the disruption of COVID-19, so social distancing and masks were not needed at the time.
