Achievement

Alejandra Tarrell and Ryan Hort participated in a two week science and technology policy workshop called "Science Outside the Lab" hosted by Arizona State University's Consotrtium for Science, Policy, and Outcomes. The workshop spanned many topics covering the relationship between science and government, including the political and cultural environment surrounding science, as well as the politics of funding sources. The workshop was focused on exploring the relationships among science, policy, and societal outcomes to better understand how policy decisions are made through discussions and interactions with the people and agencies responsible for funding, regulating, and shaping science.
