Interesting report from @SCI_HarvardMed on transitioning to a #scipol career.
What training leads to a successful #scipol career? We interviewed experts from across the field and different career stages to find out.
SPOILER ALERT: Lots of #scicomm
Read the report 👇🏿

Had a great chat with @Clarissajaz to discuss how science connects to policy around the world. #scipol friends should check her out!
What do you think about a Policy Transfer Office at your university? (Something like a Technology Transfer Office) My day #15 of the #EFjourney was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where I met Daniel Pomeroy Managing Director and Senior Policy…lnkd.in/gY-wEpV

Great #scipol opportunity at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (@americanacad). It is "for an early-career professional with training in security studies or nuclear policy to learn about a career in public policy and administration." #scipoljobs amacad.org/career/security-s…

Another #scipoljobs in #nuclear security. @CFR_org: "The Stanton Nuclear Security Fellowship offers younger scholars...the opportunity to spend a period of twelve months at CFR’s offices in New York or Washington, DC, conducting policy-relevant research."
