In-person (Register for location)
PhD Plus and SPI at UVA, in collaboration with the Office of the Vice President for Research and Julia Smith, UVA's Executive Director of Federal Relations, will be co-hosting a science policy lunch for current graduate students and postdocs to meet with federal relations specialists from Lewis-Burke Associates (LBA) who have expertise in AI-, biomedical-, education-, environmental-, and national security-related research.
The lunch will start with a short conversation about what the LBA team will be watching for on election night and what that could mean for federal research funding over the next two years. Afterward, the associates from LBA will lead small group discussions around their area of expertise—sharing updates about funding, federal policy, science policy careers, and more.
The lunch is scheduled for Tuesday, October 20, from 12:00 - 1:15 PM Eastern.
