New Politics Forum will be hosting a STEM Policy Panel linking students with technology professionals, professors and policy experts who have backgrounds in science and engineering disciplines.

Description

The work of STEM professors and professionals reaches far beyond the classroom or research space. In fields like energy and environmental engineering, regulations and legislation at the state and national level can change the future of industries. In life and physical sciences, communicating with public officials and policymakers allows for the application of information around public health, innovation and emerging technology. 
The STEM Policy Panel, part of a Texas Civic Ambassador Initiative with the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life, connects these areas, linking students with tech and industry professionals, professors and policy experts who have backgrounds in science and engineering disciplines. 
Featured speakers include:
  • Nikita Namjoshi, Product Manager and Machine Learning and Generative AI Engineer at Google
  • Jaquelin Dudley, Ph.D., Professor of Oncology and Associate Director, LaMontagne Center for Infectious Disease
  • Melinda Taylor, J.D., Founder and Executive Director of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Center for Energy, Law, and Business and Senior Lecturer
