About Making Science Make Sense (MSMS)

Bayer Corporation has long been committed to improving science education. In 1995, this commitment was formalized with the introduction of the Bayer Making Science Make Sense® (MSMS) program - an award-winning initiative that advances science literacy through hands-on, inquiry-based science learning, employee volunteerism and public education.

As a science and research-based company with major businesses in health care, nutrition and innovative materials, Bayer Corporation has a solid stake in helping ensure that today's students are well prepared for tomorrow's workplace, regardless of the careers they choose.

Bayer's commitment stems from the fact that new technologies and concepts and increasing global market competition will continue to demand a workforce that is flexible, scientifically literate and equipped with the critical thinking, problem solving and team working skills fostered by a quality science education.

Educating the public about the importance of science literacy, supporting hands-on, inquiry-based science programs for students and teachers, and encouraging employee volunteerism are at the heart of Bayer's integrated approach.

As a result, MSMS has received numerous awards, including two presidential accolades - The Ron Brown Award for Corporate Leadership and The President's Service Award.
