Code of Ethics

The Museum of Science is committed to the highest ethical standards in all its operations. This Code of Ethics applies to all employees, volunteers, and board members. Our commitment to scientific integrity, educational excellence, and community engagement is paramount.

1. Mission and Public Trust

Our primary responsibility is to serve our public audience and to uphold the public trust. We are committed to presenting authentic and accurate scientific information and to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all visitors.

2. Integrity and Objectivity

We will act with integrity, intellectual honesty, and objectivity in all our activities. All research and educational content will be based on rigorous scientific principles and evidence. We will clearly distinguish between fact-based information and informed interpretation.

3. Inclusivity and Respect

We are dedicated to creating a respectful, inclusive, and equitable environment for all staff, volunteers, and visitors, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or any other characteristic. Harassment and discrimination will not be tolerated.

4. Conflict of Interest

All members of our organization must avoid conflicts of interest, both real and perceived. Any potential conflicts must be disclosed to ensure that personal interests do not interfere with the interests of the Museum or its mission.

5. Transparency and Accountability

We are committed to transparency in our operations and are accountable to our community, stakeholders, and the public. We will be responsible stewards of our financial and human resources.

This Code of Ethics will be reviewed periodically to ensure it remains relevant and effective. Questions about this code should be directed to our leadership team.
