Contribute to the SPI Blog
Are you interested in writing about your science policy experiences, policy ideas, or career hopes and plans? If yes, you should consider contributing to the SPI blog! We aim for this collection of writings from our broad membership to document our educational efforts, consolidate learnings, and help introduce aspiring scientists to the world of science policy and what it has to offer.
If you have an idea for a piece, contact our communications chair Hannah LeBlanc at leblanch@mit.edu. They’ll set up a time to talk through your pitch and act as your editor for the process. Traditional blog-style posts as well as policy briefs and more creative formats are all welcome. The content should be related to SPI or other science policy topics.
