CivicSciTV - Questions of the Day
Decoding the recently published insights from UC Irvine’s Certificate Program in Science Policy
Adriana Bankston and Amy Ralston, two of the four authors of a new publication titled “Development and Outcomes of an International Certificate Program in Science Policy and Advocacy for STEM PhD Students and Postdocs,” discuss the insights from the paper including the following: development of the program; how the program equips participants with practical skills for policy and advocacy, and the impact it has had on participants’ career paths. Additional points of discussion include the specific skills developed through the program, its role in facilitating transitions into science policy and advocacy roles, future directions of the program, advice for aspiring participants, and insights on replicating this model in other institutions.
