About the Wonder Collaborative
The Wonder Collaborative is our feature film unit at the Science Communication Lab.
Our award-winning documentaries take audiences on journeys to the horizons of human knowledge by delving into the nuances, complexities, and awe of scientific discovery.
Our work also serves as experiments in science communication, where we study methods to enhance impact and engagement. The insights derived from the Wonder Collaborative’s films inform the broader efforts of the Science Communication Lab.
