VISION:

The ODD Foundation believes in the critical role communication plays within our society. It is the ODD Foundation’s goal to promote clear and accurate information about culture, science and technology. With the rise of misinformation across popular social media platforms, the need for better science literacy, cultural understanding, and education is more important than ever.

Our goal is to use digital and traditional media to push for science education, science communication, cultural exchange, and outreach. We want to provide a credible resource to youths and adults everywhere. We also want to provide resources for continuing professional training to adults who are in positions to teach youth (e.g., teachers, homeschoolers, Boys and Girls Club members) in a variety of cultural and heritage, science communication, and ecological topics through our projects.

MISSION STATEMENT

We aim to provide an accurate resource for science information — from sociology to biology, ecology and evolutionary biology to A.I. technology — to help educate the public and combat rampant misinformation and disinformation. Our goal is to provide a resources for the public to become better neighbors to each other, our wildlife species and better stewards of our environment as the world tackles issues of population sprawl and changing climate.
