About us
Citizens, teachers, and scientists for a scientifically literate Georgia.
Georgia Citizens for Integrity and Science Education is a group of private citizens, teachers, and scientists working to improve science literacy across the state.
What we are
GeorgiaScience.org is the organization's public hub for science education, scientific literacy, and critical thinking. We provide clear, evidence-based resources for students, educators, and communities who value reliable science and informed decision making.
Our mission
Our mission is to strengthen scientific understanding, support high-quality STEM education, and help Georgians engage thoughtfully with evidence and with the world around them.
We are literacy-forward. Scientific literacy, the ability to evaluate evidence, reason carefully, and make informed decisions, is the outcome we work toward. Integrity in science education is one of the means by which that literacy is built.
By integrity in science education, we mean fidelity in how science is taught: that what reaches students and the public is accurate, current, evidence-based, and free from distortion. This is not about policing science. It is about teaching it well and honestly, so that genuine understanding can follow. A scientifically literate Georgia depends on science education that has integrity.
Who we serve
- Students seeking clarification on scientific topics and reliable resources.
- Educators looking for high-quality, vetted classroom materials and STEM support.
- Communities and individuals who want trustworthy information, upcoming events, and ways to engage thoughtfully with science in Georgia.
What belongs here
- Curated links to reputable national science and science-education organizations, selected for relevance to Georgia.
- Georgia-specific resources: state standards, local institutions, programs, and initiatives.
- Local science news: scholarships, discoveries, events, and policies affecting science education across Georgia.
- Plain-language explainers and critical-thinking and media-literacy resources.
What does not
- Partisan political advocacy unrelated to science education.
- Unvetted or low-quality sources. Every linked resource should meet the same evidence and integrity standard we promote.
- Content that overstates certainty or blurs evidence with speculation.
We try to practice the literacy we teach: verify claims, cite sources, state uncertainty honestly, and distinguish evidence from interpretation. Our credibility rests on holding ourselves to our own standards.
