Our colleagues at the London Postdoc Network are pleased to invite CrickConnect members to join them at an event on scientific policy advising as a career path for postdocs and other researchers.

In this event, Dr Cristiana Vagnoni (Biological Sciences and Health Adviser at POST, UK Parliament; twitter: @Neuronal_K) and Dr Sweta Raghavan (Scientist, entrepreneur and social activist; twitter @@raghavansweta) will discuss how and why they chose a career path as policy advisors following their scientific career, what is expected from scientists that take on policy advisory roles and the pros and cons of this career path. The format will be a 5min intro from each of the speakers, followed by questions and a round table discussion.
