My last act as the 2024 @ASMicrobiology Fenwick Fellow for the Advancement of Civic Science was a talk on civic science at ASM Microbe 2025. Hopefully this is a good primer for those of us worried about the future of science and want to get involved! https://t.co/NLTpav9tFx
A massive thanks to @RepStubbs, @RepWittke, and our many other legislative partners that have helped us co-design the @WiscSciPol WI STEP Fellowship program as a future resource for Wisconsin!
This Tuesday, I participated in a panel for the kick-off of the Wisconsin Science, Technology, and Engineering Policy (WISTEP) Fellowship Program. (1/5)
Relevant now maybe more than ever--there's no one trick to getting science advocacy right! You've really got to know your audience and know how to connect with what's important to them. Facts and stats alone are never going to be enough.
ASM's 2024 Fenwick Fellow Chris Dade discusses his pathway to science advocacy, and gives key guidance on advocating for science and informing science policy: https://t.co/mMMd2Qsjkb
A reminder that you can still sign up for Our Lab Votes, an effort to get more STEM students out to vote: https://t.co/SE6QLKyF98. More information below!
Counties are responsible for funding and managing over 100,000 polling places staffed with over 630,000 poll workers each election cycle. @HelpAmericaVote.gov

Sometimes institutions surprise you in good ways, even if it took far too long. This can’t undo the harm already done, but it’s essential for any restorative work in the future
And just like that: the 304.3 language added that said "the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching" and "self-avowed practicing homosexuals" are not to be clergy are REMOVED from the #UMC. 93%! #UMCGC 🏳️🌈
@CaSP_UWMadison tries to live out the Wisconsin Idea every day connecting graduate student scientists on campus and our local policymakers to ensure science can inform policy making to benefit Wisconsin. Thanks for stopping by to chat and for your support of @UWMadison!
Thank you to Christopher Dade from Catalysts for Science Policy for introducing me to their service preparing specialized scientific memos for legislators.
UW-Madison researchers have supported over 230k jobs across Wisconsin; we must continue to support and empower students.
CaSP is hosting a science policy communication workshop on Tuesday April 23rd at 4:30pm! Come to SAC Room 4001 to hear about the recent @aaas meeting and practice your science policy communication skills. Register using the QR code below!
"Some 65 members of Congress from both parties have come together to propose a common-sense fix [for the broken #Antibiotics market]," former Vermont governor Howard Dean writes.
"It’s called the #PASTEURAct." https://t.co/pe2u1K9tts

"We have to rid ourselves of the elitist assumption' that civic learning is a priority only for certain kinds of students" What might that look like for STEM undergrads? Or even better: grad students?? https://t.co/UYxA5tIMHn
