Seed Media Group Makes $100,000 Commitment to Science Literacy at Clinton Global Initiative

NEW YORK, September 28, 2007 -– Adam Bly, founder and CEO of Seed Media Group, today announced a commitment to science literacy at the annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting, which brings together global leaders from different fields to address the world's most pressing problems. Seed Media Group is launching the Seed Media Group Science Literacy Grants, a commitment valued at $100,000 through a combination of cash (matching contributions of funds raised on its online community site ScienceBlogs) and in-kind advertising (in its print magazine Seed and on ScienceBlogs).

Today, science affects every single person on the planet. Science is transforming our global culture and conversation unlike ever before, and is a powerful tool for addressing global problems, from climate change to poverty to global health. “Science literacy is a precondition for progress and development in the 21st century,” said Adam Bly. “This commitment will help support innovative efforts that further this mission.”
