Cuvette Collective’s mission is to help scientists share their groundbreaking discoveries in ways that inspire, educate, & drive change.

A short video about what we're trying to do here at Cuvette Collective!

Cuvette Collective is a team of Ph.D.-level science educators who partner with scientists to maximize the broader impacts of research through 1️⃣ strategic partnerships and 2️⃣ impactful educational content.

Strategic Partnerships

Typically, a research center hires a full-time staff member to manage its broader impacts. This limits the center to one person's expertise, bandwidth, and network.

πŸ“£
Instead, research centers can hire our team for Research Support Services, allowing access to:
  • A diverse group of Ph.D.-level experts in STEM education, outreach, & evaluation,
  • Established connections with national STEM education and outreach networks (e.g., ACS, Science Olympiad), and
  • Scalable support that can flex with the center's needs.

Impactful Educational Content

As the workload of research scientists expands, their bandwidth for outreach and communication beyond research articles constricts.

Our platform β€œfor the CURIOUS” allows us to reach a diverse audience with detailed analytics and scalable reach. We produce:

The CURIOUS Scientists Podcast highlighting diverse perspectives on navigating and excelling in STEM careers, and

CURIOUS Phenomena, a video series exploring research innovations through everyday, relatable phenomena.

For the curious
β€οΈπŸ€”πŸŒ A love letter: Dear Curious Minds, When I tell people I am a chemist, I am often met with the response β€œI HaTeD that class. It was full of difficult math problems and useless information.” Truthfully, I felt the same way about my first chemistry class. What I came to learn, and what is my dream to share with others, is how chemistry can allow us to see the unseeable and make sense of the world around us. From how engines are fueled πŸš— to how we feel air πŸ’¨ on our skin, from how seashells are made 🐚 to how LEGO stick together 🧱, there’s an invisible world of particles governed by consistent laws ready to teach us the workings of the universe. Through storytelling and animation, I want to share this invisible world with you. Sincerely, Vanessa Rosa, Ph.D.

These videos are designed with The CURIOUS Educator Meta-Framework, an evidence-based, 7-step approach aligning best practices in science communication with the cognitive science of how the brain learns.

The CURIOUS Educator meta-framework
The CURIOUS Educator meta-framework organizes research-based science education practices into a cohesive 7-step approach that aligns with how the brain learns, fostering curiosity-driven inquiry and deeper understanding.

We center all initiatives around advancing equity in STEM education and broadening participation. This means we put in the work required for efforts to be aligned with and informed by those most impacted, marginalized, and minoritized by these initiatives.
