Join STEM Hill Day and the Kimball Smith Series for a discussion on the role of science advocacy in shaping public policy, featuring Tara Drozdenko, Director of the Global Security Program at the Union of Concerned Scientists. This one-hour event will explore how scientists, researchers, and science-based policymakers can effectively communicate their expertise to lawmakers, navigate the complexities of science advocacy, and contribute to evidence-based policymaking.
