Scientists have a vital role to play in shaping policy—whether as a full-time career or through everyday contributions. Your expertise is crucial to informed decision-making.
Join three scientists, Jared Mondschein of the State Department, Tepring Piquado of the National Science Policy Network, and Laura Pence of the University of Hartford, as they discuss how they successfully navigated their unique careers in science policy. Discover their diverse career journeys, gain insights into the current landscape of science policy, and learn what it takes to thrive as a scientist in the policy world. Whether you’re considering a transition into science policy or simply curious, this event offers valuable guidance.
