Making
Science Make Sense
 This
award-winning program positions Bayer as a national catalyst behind
science literacy and science education reform. Through Making Science
Make Sense — a program involving both in-school curriculum
change and public awareness — Bayer is seen as a company that
not only gratuitously addresses important issues, but truly cares
about its customers, communities, and employees.

| Dr.
Mae Jemison, former NASA Astronaut and Bayer's science education
advocate, engages Pittsburgh-area children with science experiments |
Working
with the National Science Foundation, we developed The Bayer Facts
of Science Education I and II, a first-of-a-kind series of surveys
to discover the state of U.S. science education today. At our 1996
Washington briefing, Madeleine Kunin, Deputy Secretary of Education,
was the keynote speaker.
To
spread the word about keeping kids interested in science, Dr. Mae
Jemison visits Bayer site communities throughout the country, talking
to employees, doing experiments with school children, and meeting
with local policymakers.
