Welcome to In the Spotlight, the science communication podcast brought to you by Northwestern University's Science Policy Outreach Taskforce! This season, we are unveiling a new episode series alongside our normal content, called "Science Policy in the Spotlight." We want to showcase some local policy issues in the greater Chicago and Evanston communities where science is important to the discussion. Each policy series, we will interview scientists, community members, elected officials, and more to try to understand different perspectives and how science informs their work. We can't wait to release the first series on March 28th - see you then!
