Science Debate is now "Science on the Ballot" with @SciPolNetwork
This nonpartisan initiative, which I cofounded in 2007, asks candidates, elected officials, the public & the media to focus on science policy issues prior to Election Day. https://www.scipolnetwork.org/science-on-the-ballot?mibextid=Zxz2cZ #elections #science #politics
U.S. state coalitions are launching on Tuesday, July 18 at 7pm ET & you can join the kickoff event to get involved, learn about the program & work with campaigns. Register at https://ow.ly/Bgz950P20Jp

in reply to Bruce Acton • • •@Bwacton @SciPolNetwork I stepped down from leadership in 2022, so this is now formally a program within the National Science Policy Network.
That said, there have been many countries, including Canada, that we had supported using the Science Debate model in their elections since 2008. I think it’s a excellent idea.
