5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m.
Conor O’Neill’s Traditional Pub

How do government officials use research to inform decision-making? What happens when STEM policy reaches the White House and Capitol Hill? During this inauguration week, meet U-M faculty who are as close to the White House as they are to the Big House. Find out how advocacy and technology shape the political landscape, as well what we can do to keep policy grounded in science.

Dr. Monica Dus, Associate Professor of Molecular Cellular and Developmental Biology, has recently returned from a year-long sabbatical serving as White House Fellow to the Honorable Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy. Learn about her unique experience and discuss the implications of what she learned.

Other speakers will be announced in January.
