WHIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amid growing concerns over misinformation around health and science, Bayer launched a nationwide tour of its Science Delivers mobile interactive experience. The mobile display hits the road at a critical moment: a Harris Poll survey of 2,023 US adults, commissioned by Bayer – Science Under Siege: The Battle Between Viral Misinformation and Shared Belief in the Value of Science (March 2026) – found that 82% worry about their own and their families' wellbeing due to science and health misinformation.

Tour Details

The tour will visit communities, universities, and local events across California, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C, and more – engaging scientists, farmers, researchers, students, and members of the community on discussions around health innovation, agricultural science, and the future of scientific discovery.

The Interactive Experience

Visitors can engage directly with the custom mobile display featuring evidence-based science through interactive activities that showcase how science has delivered extraordinary progress in health, agriculture, medicine, and beyond. Guests will also be invited to share their personal experiences with science by writing a physical or digital postcard for the national educational campaign. These submissions feed into a growing national gallery of more than 700 postcards as of September 2026 showcasing how everyday lives are impacted by scientific progress.

"Trust in evidence is what gets a new treatment from a trial to the person who needs it – whether that's cardiovascular care, women's health, or beyond," said Dr. Yesmean Wahdan, SVP, Head of Medical Affairs US & North America, Bayer. "When people have access to evidence-based information they understand and trust, they make better decisions for themselves and their families. That's what this tour is really about – meeting people where they are and giving them something solid to stand on.”

“Behind every vitamin, pain reliever or allergy treatment on a pharmacy shelf is years of rigorous science, and consumers deserve to understand and trust that work," said Rachel Koontz, SVP, R&D, Global Self Care, Bayer. "This tour is an opportunity to close the gap between the lab and everyday life, and to give Americans the facts they need to cut through the noise.”

A Larger Movement

The tour is part of the Science Delivers campaign, launched last year, which invites Americans to champion the ways science has improved their lives, recognize and combat misinformation, and help create an environment where innovation can continue to thrive.
