Presented By: Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering
Developing a Societally-Relevant Career Trajectory at the University of Michigan
This event is co-sponsored by Rackham Graduate School
Are you interested in the link between science and society? Curious about pathways that allow you to broaden your research? Do you want to learn how to bridge the gap between improved scientific understanding and societally relevant solutions to problems in space and climate science?
This workshop will address these questions, with the goal to consider and develop plans to broaden dissertations that venture beyond basic science research and start to bridge gaps between physical science and societally relevant solutions, including mitigation, adaptation, building resilience, and policy changes. This workshop is the first of three in a series this academic year. It is targeted towards Ph.D. students, although we also encourage interested undergraduates, MS and MEng students to attend.
The workshop will include (1) a panel discussion of four former students who are currently working in applied science, policy, or science communications positions outside of academia to discuss how they charted their path at UM and describe their current positions, and (2) round-table discussions to allow for small-group interactions with these alumni.
PANELISTS:
:: Samantha Basile - Climatologist, Great Lakes Integrated Sciences and Assessments (GLISA)
:: Jared Ferguson - Legislative Aide for Assemblymember Muratsuchi, California State Assembly
:: Amanda Graor - Chief Innovation Officer, Mid-America Regional Council
:: Lizz Ultee - Postdoctoral Fellow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
