The Bench Mark For Science Project Committee Ends The Year With A Bang

Wishing You All A Happy Holiday! 🎁🎄

The Bench Mark For Science Project is not just another research endeavor; it is a testament to the power of film in education. Recognizing contributions of those in nursing, medicine, and public health, this project sets out to bridge gaps in health inequities through scientific storytelling. From unearthing stories, creating stories and empowering the future of nursing, The Bench Mark For Science Project is at the forefront of scientific discovery in education.

At the heart of The Bench Mark For Science Project lies a spirit of collaboration and knowledge-sharing. By placing a bench in parks across the country, this project fosters interdisciplinary research that breaks down traditional silos and encourages creative education. Each bench will honor the names of those lesser known contributors to the health sciences, in addition, this unique approach to historical inquiry sparks new ideas and accelerates the pace of nursing education, leading to groundbreaking advancements in nursing science.

Launched in June of 2024, the project is poised to hold its' inaugural bench commemoration in February 2025. The bench is in honor of Marjorie Tucker Reed, who was one of the legendary Black Angels, known for their contributions to the cure for tuberculosis.
