Learning & Living STEMM in Connecticut

The Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering

The Academy is a nonprofit created by a special act of the Connecticut General Assembly in 1976, with key areas of work including advising and informing the people and the state of Connecticut on science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (collectively known as STEMM). This podcast is key to sharing with the residents of our state interesting STEMM developments and increasing visibility for the state’s innovators and entrepreneurs, businesses and industries, academics, our talented workforce, and those doing STEMM-related work in public service.
