[ASA] Get science impacting policy – learn from the experts

[John O'Byrne]

ASA members may be interested in the four videos described below.  They come from Science & Technology Australia (STA), of which the ASA is a member, and describe taking a role in policy making.  Each is about 10-15 minutes. They are well worth a look for different perspectives on this topic.

The link can also be found on the ASA Home page (https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/lVWVCk8vAZt23mpQH2A3x5?domain=asa.astronomy.org.au).

The value of science and evidence as contributors to the policymaking process is universally accepted, but how do STEM professionals ensure that science and evidence are being heard?

As an exclusive benefit for members of STA, we have crafted a series of videos drawing on the expertise of leading policymakers, influencers and STEM professionals to provide insight into how scientists and technologists can take part.

Hear from the country's leading science policy voice, Australia's Chief ScientistDr Alan Finkel; from the head of higher education peak body Universities Australia, Catriona Jackson; the Director of the ANU's Crawford School of Public Policy, Professor Helen Sullivan; and a scientist turned policymaker working with Australia's Square Kilometre Array Office, Dr Amber Beavis.
