You can be part of SSPG too!

Students, postdocs, and scientists can attend speaker events, campus
panels, and conversations that explore the intersection of science and
society. For those looking to build skills and collaborate, we offer hands-on
workshops in science communication, policy writing, and advocacy.
Students can join working groups that explore specific policy topics through
journal clubs, policy memos, and collaborative research. And at the
leadership and advocacy level, students can participate in Hill Days to meet
directly with lawmakers and advocate for evidence-based policy, both at the
state and federal levels.

You can follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn and BlueSky, and read our
Spotlight blog posts. You can also give us suggestions on topics you would like to learn more. Also, if you are Stanford-affiliated and are interested in being added to our mailing list and Slack channel, please fill out this form.

But we’re not just here for scientists! In a democracy, science
communication is science policy—and you don’t need a PhD to make an
impact. Our goal is to start a dialogue with the broader public: to share
science-informed perspectives and to listen, learn, and exchange ideas.
That’s why we publish accessible, expert-written explainers on science
topics and their policy implications—designed to inform and inspire.
