We are planning for the 6-7pm hour to be graduate student policy pitch presentations.  These presentations will involve issues such as stem cell regulation impacts on healthcare, access to healthy food options in Coachella Valley, trust in science, climate change in the Coachella Valley, and more.  From 7-8pm, we will have a dessert social where attendees can interact with the student presenters.

What is the Science to Policy Program at UCR?  The Science to Policy Program (S2P) is administered within the UCR School of Public Policy. Its mission is to prepare graduate students to be trusted voices who can connect science to real community and policy decisions. Through its certification course and fellowships, the Science to Policy Program gives UCR graduate students hands-on experience working with policy experts and public leaders, helping them turn research into clear, practical insights that inform policy, strengthen communities, and improve lives.
