The California Academy of Sciences, along with many other institutions across the globe, have been established to assert that learning about and investing in scientific research has benefits that often outweigh any potential setbacks they may bring. Perhaps the most important, yet most overlooked portion of the scientific method while researching is that even ‘negative’ results are useful in the larger spectrum. Its not as much being ‘right’ as a researcher as it is about gathering data and aggregating it in an unbiased, straightforward manner. To spread the true nature of science as a discipline, the California Academy of Science has one mission focused on “regenerating the natural world through science, learning, and collaboration.” All of these goals can contribute to combatting the misinformative and dismissive attitude which natural science has received in recent years.
