SNAP members showed up in Washington, D.C. this week to meet w/ their representatives about changing the financial structure of #STEMeducation #GraduateEducation. SNAPpers attended a congressional briefing hosted by the Graduate Research and Development (GRAD) Coalition and helped spread the word!

Happy National Science Appreciation Day! 🤩 Ok look - #science has had a rough year 🫠 and maybe doesn’t feel like celebrating. But Miles Arnett & @disha-patel3.bsky.social say that we must continue to celebrate regardless and continue fighting for #better. Read on Medium: medium.com/science-poli...

A white square graphic that says the title of the new blog post from “Science Policy in a SNAP”. A blurred picture in dark colors is the background of the photo. The latest post is entitled “Building a Science Worth Appreciating, or: National Science Appreciation Day, and how we can make it more fun next year”.

It’s #blog post day! SNAPper Emma Scales (@emmascales.bsky.social) asks us to recognize patterns in science & #scipol that lead to compliance with & progression of #fascism. What must change to avoid repeating history? 🤔 TW: genocide, racism, murder Read on Medium: medium.com/science-poli...

A graphic showing the new blog post, entitled “The Lab Bench under Fascism” was published on Medium.

Original illustration by @emmascales.bsky.social for the blog post. It’s a moody picture in varying shades of red. Scientists working at lab benches with glassware are surrounded by blood vessel looking vines that pump things away from the experiments and scientists themselves.
