In this webinar, Engineers and Scientists Acting Locally (ESAL) will discuss the ways in which scientists can engage with local government, and use their expertise and inquiry driven, evidence-based approaches to inform policy decisions. We will highlight examples of scientists who have made substantive contributions to their communities, often without a major career shift.
