If you are Graduate Student or Postdoctoral Fellow
at the University of Washington or FHCRC
How to get involved:
1) The academic outreach committee plans 3-5 seminars on campus every year. They invite nationally regarded
speakers to talk about how their work impacts science AND society. You might have attended Matthew Nisbet's talk on framing Science or
Nalini Nadkarni's talk on science outreach earlier in the fall of 2007. Email Clemens or
Andy if planning an event this
sounds interesting.
2) FOSEP sponsors periodic discussion groups to tackle current issues of science policy and ethics.
If you would like to try your hand at arranging informal (curriculum-free) discussion groups for the benefit
of FOSEP members, you could work with
Anne-Marie.
3) Do you want to curate a FOSEP topics page? If so, email
Beth.
