[Lekooks] Fwd: Webinar: The Role of Science in the New Political Era

Sat Nov 12 12:30:57 CST 2016

Hi all,

I thought some of you might be interested in this Webinar. I'm very
interested but can't attend due to work.

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.

- Science Communication
- Informing Policy and Influencing Policy Makers
- Talking with the Media
- Public Engagement and Working with Communities
- Early Career Scientist Webinars

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.

> Dear Liz,
>
> This week, we learned that Donald Trump will be the next President of the
> United States. *His campaign rhetoric—now spilling over into the
> presidential transition process—represents a significant threat to the role
> of science in our democracy. *
>
> *We will fight attempts to weaken science-based laws and environmental and
> public health protections—but we can’t do it without your help.* 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.
