<p dir="ltr">Hi all,</p>
<p dir="ltr">I thought some of you might be interested in this Webinar. I'm very interested but can't attend due to work.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But I found that the Union of Concerned Scientists site also has several previous Workshops available for each of the following topics that you can review at any time. I'll be looking some of them.</p>
<p dir="ltr">- Science Communication<br>
- Informing Policy and Influencing Policy Makers<br>
- Talking with the Media<br>
- Public Engagement and Working with Communities<br>
- Early Career Scientist Webinars</p>

<p dir="ltr">I also stumbled on this STEM Poem today, I didn't even know they were a thing. It presents a great idea and reminds us to stay in the light. I was in need of something hopeful and this short poem reminded me of our resilience and ingenuity.<br>

<br><br><strong>We will fight attempts to weaken science-based laws and environmental and public health protections—but we can’t do it without your help.</strong> That why we’re inviting you to a post-election webinar to discuss the vital role scientists and experts like you play in informing the new administration and holding it accountable.
<br><br><strong><a href="http://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=bAGFRzTG6ajdcBgXohtofw" target="_blank">The Role of Science in the New Political Era</a></strong><br><em>Date:</em> Wednesday, December 7<br><em>Time:</em> 1:00-2:00 p.m. EST<br><em>Speakers:</em> <strong>Ken Kimmell</strong>, president, Union of Concerned Scientists; former commissioner, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
<br>
<strong>Andrew Rosenberg</strong>, director, Center for Science and Democracy, Union of Concerned Scientists
<br><br><strong><a href="http://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=c6x-RLeko9PN-cS2ePwfnQ" target="_blank">Register for the Webinar Today</a></strong><br><br>
It's imperative the Trump administration know that the scientific community will hold them responsible for using independent science to govern in service of the public interest. We'd like to share our plan to push back on attacks on science with you.
<br><br>2017 will set the tone for science-based policy making for years to come. <strong><a href="http://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=KZC37f3xiwAEqQzt5Pn0-Q" target="_blank">Register today</a></strong> to learn about the impact of the election on science--and how you can play a role in what comes next.
