Dis­tinc­tive Voices high­lights inno­va­tions, dis­cov­er­ies, and emerg­ing issues in an excit­ing and engag­ing pub­lic forum. Do you won­der how things work? What the future holds? If you are curi­ous about the sci­ence and tech­nol­ogy behind today’s hot top­ics, Dis­tinc­tive Voices is for you!

Dis­tinc­tive Voices was cre­ated in 2006 as a pro­gram of the National Acad­emy of Sci­ences Com­mu­ni­ca­tion Ini­tia­tive to increase sci­ence lit­er­acy. The live pro­gram­ming hosted at the Beck­man Cen­ter in Irvine, CA received major fund­ing from the Arnold and Mabel Beck­man Fund of the National Acad­emy of Sci­ences and National Acad­emy of Engi­neer­ing. Addi­tional sup­port is pro­vided by The Edward Life­sciences Fund and Pacific Life Foun­da­tion. The pro­gram at the Jon­s­son Cen­ter in Woods Hole, MA is sup­ported by the Frank Press Fund of The National Acad­emy of Sci­ences, the Thomas Lin­coln Casey Fund of The National Acad­emy of Sci­ences, the Arthur L. Day Fund of The National Acad­emy of Sci­ences, and the Kel­logg Fund of the Insti­tute of Medicine.”
