This course has been my labor of love for the last year. Be sure to sign up and pass it on to your networks! #scipol #scicomm Relevant to @ESEPCoalition, @SciNetUCS, @scipolnetwork, and students applying to @AAAS_STPF or @mirzayanfellow
Are you a scientist or engineer seeking to engage with policymakers? (Great—the policy world needs your insight!) This new 3-week, self-paced @MITxonedX course from our @MIT_SHASS @MIT_CIS Policy Lab will help you contribute to shaping #PublicPolicy. bit.ly/ImpactPublicPolicy
Reminder: Primary in MA on Sept 3. Spent yesterday knocking doors for @ElectCartwright for Clerk of MA SJC, because the woman who tirelessly represents me in Congress asked for our help & when @AyannaPressley believes in someone you know they're going to impress you. #vote

Anyone have suggestions for aurora viewing within a ~2hr drive of Boston tonight? Trying to triangulate across various maps of cloud cover, light pollution, etc. Thought it might be easier to just ask for suggestions!

Huge congrats @GGoldman46, new Assistant Director for Environmental Science, Engineering, Policy and Justice @WHOSTP Gretchen was one of the 1st people I had the honor to work with and learn from in my #scipol career. Knowing she'll use #science to inform policy gives me #hope!

I literally used it right after I read the document! So helpful!
I especially appreciate the fact that there is specific suggested text to use to respond to panel invites. It makes taking concrete action so much more straightforward!

Elevating diverse voices is not just the responsibility of event organizers, but also the invited participants. Before you respond to your next request to speak on a panel, read this excellent resource by @GretchenTG and @kristydahl ucs-documents.s3.amazonaws.c…

Powerful statement by @DrReedTuckson at #AAASForum: If, after we pass this pandemic, we're still talking about Tuskegee and debating if we need to address health inequities, then shame on us. #scipol

Consistently proud of the fact that @AyannaPressley represents me.
Donald Trump has earned the scathing critiques of his rhetoric, policies, corrupt Administration & disgraceful debate performance. However, given the many descriptors at your disposal, I appeal to analysts not to say things like, he is on drugs, forgot his meds, clearly has ADHD.

I know the Trump tax stuff won't change anyone's mind about him as President. I would settle for it opening people's eyes to how broken our tax system is.
