Title: "Research at the Policy Table"

Description: How does research shape policy decisions? How can we bridge the gap between academia and policymaking? Join us to learn from local experts as we discuss how research is used (or not used) in designing and implementing public policy, and how researchers can better connect with the policy sphere. 

Panelists:
