This year, we marked a quarter-century of Metcalf training. We’re celebrating with more initiatives, tailor-made for these times.

In 2023 we launched a brand-new, multi-year fellowship program, hosted the most extensive Inclusive SciComm Symposium ever, welcomed three new staff members, and began a new chapter in Metcalf’s evolution to best meet this urgent moment in history.
