@MsAmbitious1908 @AdrianaBankston @SciPolJournal @SciNetUCS @LewisBurkeLLC @FAScientists Hi Carla, to level the playing field the competition is for grad students only; there may future opportunities, so stay tuned! In the meantime, we’d appreciate if you share w/ your network of grad students interested in sci pol & advocacy. Thanks!

I don’t know how to say it more clearly, but to young people especially: If you don’t vote this November, you might not have a country left in which you can ever truly be free again.

@AdrianaBankston Thanks for your leadership of this fantastic journal, Adriana! Highly recommended for STEM undergraduates!

[Cindy Achat-Mendes @achatwithme]

A must read - the @SciPolJournal Special Issue on Intersectional Science Policy has been released! This issue features 16 innovative articles on a number of topics on #DEI in #scipol. @SciPolNetwork Read the full issue: https://t.co/uPnZUOlDAU #ISPMC2021

@AAAS_STPF This is what we need - enlightenment that climate change actually correlates with common values!

Just wrapped up my last @FORsymp meeting as a BoD member. Can’t say enough about this org. Since 2016, I learned about #ECR advocacy, which led to a lifelong passion. Grateful for amazing colleagues, great projects and long-term friendships. Excited to see where the future leads.

https://t.co/LVQxOYX0Aq I think we as students of STEM may see our education as a launchpad for our careers. Before this course, did you ever think much about how politics and science comingle? Has your education swayed or strengthened your political affiliation?
