Union of Concerned Scientists Happy Hour & Reception 9-22 (

[Debra L. Martin]

FYI,

Are you a grad student, post-doc, or faculty member interested in the
intersection of science and public policy? Are you concerned about
critical issues like climate change, global security, clean energy, and
scientific integrity? Do you want to better understand your key role and
how you can get involved with the limited time you have? Or to meet
experts who can tell you more about these issues?

Please join the Union of Concerned Scientists for a happy hour 
reception and discussion:

Policy Decisions?
