About LabX

LabX is a public engagement program of the National Academy of Sciences.

Program Vision and Mission

Vision
A world in which young adults actively use the relevant products and processes of science to inform their problem solving and decision making.

Mission
LabX will empower young adults to use science and scientific thinking in their daily lives and in their communities.

Target audience

Young adults (ages 18-37) who have a moderate affinity for science.

We are currently in the process of designing programming based on these core values. The ultimate goal for LabX is to create mechanisms that enable sustained engagement with participants, leading to demonstrable behavior change. Stay tuned to this website for more information!
