Let us know what you think! 

Do you have an idea for a group event? What about a workshop? Would you like to learn more about a specific aspect of science policy? Please fill out this anonymous survey so we can direct our programming to what is most helpful to you!

Are you proficient in a language other than English? Looking for a volunteer opportunity? We're seeking volunteers to help translate our website into other major world languages, beginning with Spanish, French, and Mandarin.

While these languages are our current priority, members fluent in all languages are welcome to reach out!

Please email us at uclascipolgroup@gmail.com to get involved.

Rationale:

English has been the lingua franca of science for well over a century-- a phenomenon that creates incredible opportunities for native speakers, but poses substantial barriers for those from non-English-speaking nations. In the spirit of accessibility and communication, we're aiming to publish versions of our website in 3 major non-English languages by summer 2021. Thereafter, we hope to offer opportunities for members to publish blog posts in languages other than English in order to develop bilingual scientific literacy.

Modules will guide you through each branch of government and where science policy is integrated into the system, as well as giving you real-life examples of student groups and individuals around the United States who are taking science policy and advocacy into their own hands."
