Working with both public and private sectors, the Jones Center helps communities to adapt and be resilient to the dynamic changes in the surrounding world. We help scientists become better communicators of their results and help decision-makers understand how they can partner with scientists and use results of scientific studies to make better informed and strategic decisions.
2020 was a year unlike any other with the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic impacting all of our work. In some cases, it required us to create new activities to better serve our stakeholders and the public, and in other cases, it limited what we had planned to do in the regular course of our work. What follows is the work we did—some planned and some unplanned—in this year that proved we needed science more than ever to serve our society.
The following report is a summary of this past year’s work and provides insight on the Jones Center’s efforts regarding its three focus areas of Training and Educating About Disasters, Knowledge Exchange and Promoting Science in Action.
