CSTEPS launches SciOPS, a new kind of science communication platform

CSTEPS is proud to announce the pilot version launch of SciOPS (Scientist Opinion Panel Survey). This project, which recieved seed funding from ASU President, Michael Crow, aims to disrupt the way that science information is currently being shared between scientists, policy makers, journalists and the general public.

SciOPS is a new type of science communication platform that provides aggregated, unfiltered, diverse expert opinions on timely, important science and technology issues to promote deeper understanding and connections to science in society.Through rapid online surveys administered to a panel of over 10,000 experts, SciOPS sources unbiased, unfiltered expert opinion that is then displayed in easy to understand infographics. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the need for unbrokered access to expert opinion. To address this need, the first surveys we administered through SciOPS focused on COVID-19 research impacts, policy choices, and preparedness efforts. To learn more visit: www.sci-ops.org
