Want to leverage your role as a scientist to advocate for evidence-based policy, but not sure where to start? Join ASAP today, May 1st at 4 p.m. at 404 Plant Science, for a training hosted in collaboration with Charlotte Selton from American Physical Society (APS), designed for early-career scientists interested in science advocacy.

This interactive workshop will introduce how policy is shaped and the levers through which scientists can engage with that process, both as individuals and in groups. Participants will have the chance to discuss and practice advocacy tools in small groups and explore potential career paths in science policy.

Zoom option also available. Food, snacks, and drinks provided!
