Welcome to the December issue of the Science Policy Group at UCLA Newsletter!
Upcoming events & opportunities
In preparation for the upcoming year, here is a preview of some projects in the pipeline for the upcoming year.
Open Call for Writing Teams: We form ✍️ student-led writing teams ✍️ on a rolling basis for our members to create community while working on honing writing skills and deep-diving into a specific topic. These can take the form of popular science articles, policy memos, op-eds, and more! Do you have an idea for a submission or would like to join an existing team? Reach out over Slack or email (uclascipolgroup@gmail.com), or come chat in-person at our Welcome Back Event!
Interest Poll: SPG is entirely member-driven. Is there a particular issue that you are passionate about? Are you interested in a science-policy topic or project but not sure where to start, or need an extra set of hands? If you have 💡 an idea (or an idea of an idea) 💡, let us know HERE!
Mentoring high school capstone projects (Odyssey STEM Academy): In the second installment of our partnership with UCLA Science Project, several mentor positions are open for guiding high school seniors at Odyssey STEM Academy as they work on their 📚 senior capstone project 📚. More details to come in January, but email us at uclascipolgroup@gmail.com to indicate interest. Check out our blog post about last year's edition.
