Hey SPI! Are you interested in a career in science policy? We are holding two Zoom career panels with MIT alumni, coming up on April 14th and 26th! Check out the link in our bio for Zoom links and a list of panelist for each event.

One of my favorite parts of my job is helping MIT SPI (Science Policy Initiative) students organize their Congressional Visit Days!

It was great to tag along as students advocated for strong federal science funding (& we saw the partial eclipse in DC)! (photo credit: Awad Abdelhalim & Tilly Swanson)

Despite making up half the population, women are dramatically underrepresented in scientific and health research.

In Cambridge today with Jill Biden, we announced ARPA-H’s new initiative to tackle this, Sprint for Women’s Health, with a $100M investment in women’s health research.

Today marks a historic moment as we launch the #SprintForWomensHealth ! 🚀 This initiative is a bold move towards achieving gender equity in health care research and ensuring women's issues are represented. (1/2) arpa-h.gov/engage-and-tra…
