About Counterbalance Foundation
Counterbalance is a non-profit educational organization working to
promote the public understanding of science, and how the sciences
relate to wider society. It is our hope that
individuals, and society as a whole will benefit
from a struggle toward integrated and counterbalanced responses to
complex questions.
We can provide a variety of services including: audio/visual, production, design, and general consulting. It is our intention to use our
considerable experience in these areas to serve as a
catalyst
and help make existing multidisciplinary research work accessible to a wider audience, principally though the use
of interactive technologies.
We have worked with PBS, the AAAS, CTNS, and many others.
Counterbalance is funded by donations and the Adrian M. Wyard Charitable Trust.
