Danielle Goldman, MS, a PhD student in the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program who conducts research in the Mood Disorders Research Program at Yale School of Medicine, has been selected to be an Early Career Policy Ambassador by the Society for Neuroscience.
The program is for early career scientists and allows ambassadors to interact with leading neuroscience advocates and meet policymakers. Ambassadors are chosen based on their history of involvement in public policy, advocacy, and outreach; prior roles that strengthened their leadership; and their passion to communicate science to the public.
Society of Neuroscience hosts events that help ambassadors build a strong network with other ambassadors, experts in advocacy, and policy makers. One of the first events will be a virtual Capitol Hill Day so ambassadors can communicate with elected leaders and their staffs about advancements in neuroscience and to advocate for national investment in research.
