From Berkeley News | March 31, 2020

Jason Marsh may not wield a vibranium shield like Captain America. But like actor Chris Evans, who plays the Marvel superhero, the executive director of UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center has made TIME magazine’s list of 27 people who are bridging divides across the United States.

“We scientists need partnerships with organizations like the GGSC because we’re not experts in reaching loads of people on a regular basis. Providing sustained delivery of content that’s thoughtful, not over-the-top, appropriately measured, and empirically grounded—that’s what the GGSC does better than anybody.”
