We are a group of passionate students and post-docs at @UNC dedicated to train on and learn about issues relevant to science policy and advocacy.

Joined January 2015
Incoming SPAG Director of External Affairs @jpflores_31 recently interviewed Dr. @AdrianaBankston on his podcast with outgoing SPAG Pres @doe_ra_mi. Give the ep a listen, where they talk science policy, advocacy, fellowships, and more!
Guest co-host Rami Major (@doe_ra_mi) and I interviewed Dr. @AdrianaBankston, a role model for many in the science policy & advocacy space! She will be the inaugural @aaas/@ASGCTherapy Congressional Policy Fellow starting this fall, and we are so excited to share her story 😊

We are so thankful to @Amy_McConkey for showing us the ropes and for everyone who took the time to talk with us last week! What a great opportunity for our members to see the policy process in action and share more about what SPAG does on UNC's campus.
UNC Science Policy and Advocacy Group leaders - both of whom are working towards PhDs in STEM fields at #UNC - joined me at the legislature today. Great to connect with members of JLOC HHS. Big thanks to UNC alum @SamHayesNC for a special tour of the House chamber. #GDTBATH
