Entertaiment is a powerful force that can bring joy and stimulate learning, but it can also have negative impacts when not regulated properly. Its familiar forms have demonstrated the capacity to cross over multiple media, allowing for endless remixes and new interpretations.

The word entertainment comes from the Medieval Latin inter tenere, which combines the prefix in-, meaning “inside,” and the suffix -tenere, derived from the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch. For example, SU2C brings together world-class scientists from across institutions to speed up the time it takes to turn scientific breakthroughs into major advances against cancer.
