Outreach Opportunity: Science Ethics and Policy Symposium, “From Plants to Privacy: Science Ethics for the Modern Era”

Hello everyone,
Do you ever wonder what happens to science once it leaves the lab? If you had the opportunity, would you want your voice to be part of the conversation?
Join the Science Policy Groups at UCSF and UC Berkeley for our first ever Science Ethics and Policy Symposium, “From Plants to Privacy: Science Ethics for the Modern Era,” taking place on April 8-9th at UC Berkeley! This event explores the unintended consequences of new science and technology and will answer questions, such as: How can scientific innovation exacerbate economic or racial inequity? How does novel tech impact every community, especially those whose perspectives have been historically overlooked?
