EScAN Executive Board

The Emory Science Advocacy Network, EScAN, is a nonpartisan graduate student-led advocacy group with interests in policies that bolster science research and/or are supported by scientific evidence. We organize events that raise awareness for certain policies as well as write our own memos, which have been published in the Journal of Science Policy and Governance (JSPG). We also host science communication workshops, career panels, and letter writing campaigns each year. Our organization is dynamic as it grows and develops with each new coming cohort of graduate students. We welcome input and fresh ideas that expands science outreach across audiences.
