New project aims to unite science and Hollywood

The US National Academy of Sciences is sponsoring a program called The Science and Entertainment Exchange to improve scientific accuracy in the entertainment industry.

By bringing scientists together with Hollywood-types, the project aims to improve the scientific accuracy of what the entertainment industry produces and also help scientists communicate more effectively with the general public.

... Aside from serving as a point of contact for members of the entertainment industry seeking advice on scientific accuracy, people involved in the Exchange hope that it will help create new partnerships between scientists and entertainers to promote scientific literacy and inspire the next generation of scientists.
