UCS Advocacy Symposium

In collaboration with the Union of Concerned Scientists and graduate students at UC Irvine, San Diego, and Riverside, we helped put on a one-day Early Career Scientists Symposium. The symposium's goal was to train the next generation of science advocacy leaders and was an extraordinary opportunity!

It was a packed day with training on science communication and advocacy and individual projects. We were also given assignments to bring back to our local institutions to push forward advocacy efforts. We definitely learned a lot and will take what we learned back to the other SPG at UCLA members!
