Dear fellow graduate students,
The global impact of science and technology has never been greater or more controversial. Science policy is the diverse field where research, government, law, ethics and society intersect. Join us to discuss careers that require a scientific expertise and can give you the opportunity to inform the public, advise lawmakers, influence the direction of scientific research and education, and advocate for those at the bench or bedside.
