We are a graduate student group at Yale University dedicated to science policy and science communication.
Via outreach initiatives such as Science in the News, Science Shorts, and Science @ Bar, we bring science to the public in exciting and accessible ways, with the goal of fostering a scientifically informed electorate. In doing so, we also train scientists on effective communication skills and encourage active participation and involvement in science policy and the political process.
