Policies impacting science are being made every day on the local, state, and national level - from Brexit, to Alaska’s governor cutting funding for universities, to the development of national open data policies. Join us for this TED-style session where scientists from around the world will share their perspectives and involvement in science policy in their corner of the world. This event will be a combination of invited and solicited 5 minute talks. This presentation is being held on the Celebrate Stage at Centennial Central.
