Science on Tap - From Research To Public Policies

Description
About:
Science on Tap is an opportunity for
conversation, debate and interaction between scientists and the public
while enjoying your favorite libation. Each month at the SpeakEZ Lounge,
a knowledgeable expert hosts a discussion about a current
scientific topic: cutting edge cancer detection techniques, climate
change, Ebola virology, sex in the animal kingdom, Parkinson's
disease, or brewing beer, to name just a few. This is a great chance
to indulge your academic interests in a casual setting while enjoying
great food and beverages.
This June:
From Research To Public Policies
Public policy offers a way
to make an impact on a large scale. While to many of us, it makes
sense to develop public policies based on sound scientific research,
to others, science matters less. As scientists and citizen activists,
how you approach and engage with the policy-making process is critical
to successfully creating science-based policies. During this talk, we
will explore ways to approach translating scientific research into
public policy. Using examples from nutrition policy, we’ll talk about
the nuances of opportunity windows and timing, storytelling and
framing messages, and partnerships and grassroots engagement.
