Science Links is a program led by the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation to co-create policy- and management-relevant syntheses of environmental topics with scientists, stakeholders, community members, and decision-makers. Science Links projects typically produce peer-reviewed journal articles as well as fact sheets, reports, and digital media assets for public audiences.
Science Links draws on several principles:
- Environmental policy is more effective and better serves the public when it is grounded in ecosystem science;
- Ecosystem science can be enriched by an awareness of current public policy questions and the social context in which the research occurs;
- Science serves the public best when it does not advocate particular policy outcomes, but rather provides scientific information on the likely consequences of potential actions in a timely, clear and widely available manner.
