“How do alumni fellows stay involved in science policy following the fellowship?” We’ll unpack this topic during the fifth live chat in our series, Once a Fellow, Always a Fellow: Science Policy Impact Beyond STPF on September 16, 2021 at 3 p.m. ET.
Explore how the fellowship influenced career trajectories and find out how fellows remain involved in policy and leadership activities as a result of STPF. Hear from alumni fellows across sectors who discus how their fellowship experience impacts the work they do today.
You will also have the chance to ask fellows your questions about the chat theme.
