This April the Graduate School will send two University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate students to learn about science policy and advocacy at the Catalyzing Advocacy in Science and Engineering (CASE) workshop in Washington D.C. The workshop, sponsored by a coalition of scientific groups including the AAAS and AAU, teaches STEM graduate and upper-class undergraduates about the structure and organization of Congress, the federal budget and appropriations process, and tools for effective science communication.
The Graduate School hosted a competitive process to select two graduate students to attend the CASE workshop from UW-Madison.
Danielle Lohman from the Pagliarini Lab will attend and host a local workshop upon her return.
