The BEACON Center second annual how-to workshop on STEM Public Engagement will focus on 1) how to connect with and frame your message for different audiences, and 2) how to engage effectively with public policy and policy makers. This is an incredibly important time for scientists to engage politically. The workshop welcomes Texas State Representative Donna Howard, nurse and former health educator, and Stephanie Chiarello Noppenberg, senior policy analyst, community educator, and improv comedian.
