THE MESSENGER aims to bridge the gap between scientists and society through the recent documentary film “THE MESSENGER: A Story of mRNA”. This communication project fosters dialogue between scientists, policymakers, youth, and the general public via public film screenings and discussions at universities, schools, conferences, and community forums to enhance interaction and representation of diverse groups; media engagement to build a positive image of scientists and debunk misconceptions; biotech hakathons at academic institutions engaging students of various majors, and a robust social media presence to connect with younger audiences.
