The @entsocamerica.bsky.social SciPol Cmte and SPFs joint policy symposium today at #EntSoc26 was a huge success! I met some new terrific folks and came away with several new ideas for the 120th Congress.
Presentation slide stating the symposium titles "From outbreaks to impact: translating entomology into policy, practice, and public value." Slide with quote from Alice Walkers "the most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." Group photo of entomologists participating in jigsaw education exercise. Group photo of the remaining participants of the 4 hour policy workshop.

New piece in #Forbes describing the #SNAP 2026 Congressional District Visits wherein 115 early career scientists did office visits across 26 states, speaking with their reps about science funding and impacts of proposed OMB rule change.

Should Political Appointees Review Federal Research Grants?
A proposed OMB rule would have appointees review every discretionary grant before award. One student grants the case for oversight, then finds its flaw.

What does Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate David Crowley have to say about STEM education in Wisconsin? Read his answer here! Find all of our questions to candidates across Wisconsin and their answers here: snapcoalition.org/initiatives/... @snapcoalition.org #scipol #Wisconsin
Wisconsin's Education What does gubernatorial candidate David Crowley have to say about STEM education in Wisconsin? "As Governor, my plan includes universal early childhood education, new investments in public schools, and closing the special education reimbursement gap. I’ll ensure that every child has a launchpad to success—whether through college, technical school, apprenticeships, or direct-to-career pathways. I recognize that when the state doesn’t pick up its share of public education funding, local school districts have to turn to local taxpayers for referenda to fill the gap to keep schools in communities open and to ensure that students have the resources and learning opportunities available to them. My administration will prioritize funding for our public schools and close the special education funding gap, so our kids get the education, mental health support, and healthy school lunches they need to thrive and our schools have the resources to recruit and retain great teachers and deliver quality STEM learning opportunities both inside the classroom and through extra-curricular opportunities. I would also like to expand apprenticeships, dual enrollment, and earn and learn partnerships so that students can graduate with college credit, industry credentials, or a two-year degree pathway already underway, which cuts costs and time to enter into a career."

What are Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate David Crowley's positions on the bioeconomy? Read his answer to our questionnaire here! See all questions and answers here: snapcoalition.org/initiatives/stance-on-science/states/wi #scipol #Wisconsin
Wisconsin's Bioeconomy What does gubernatorial candidate David Crowley have to say about Wisconsin's bioeconomy? "Agriculture contributes tens of billions of dollars to Wisconsin’s economy annually and supports hundreds of thousands of jobs. My vision for Wisconsin agriculture is one where family farms are viable, rural communities are stable, and the state’s natural and energy resources strengthen each other over the long term. That means investing in cost-share programs that help farmers implement conservation practices without bearing the full financial burden alone, supporting research and extension services that give farmers the tools to adapt to changing conditions, and supporting workforce training programs and small grant programs that can help Wisconsin’s smaller farms stay on the cutting edge of innovations to improve their operations. I support the responsible expansion of nuclear energy as part of Wisconsin’s clean energy future — including next-generation and small modular reactor technology — because reliable, carbon-free baseload power is essential to a grid that works for families and businesses. We need to advance geothermal energy development in Wisconsin as a proven, carbon-free baseload resource — because a resilient energy future requires a diverse portfolio of reliable clean power that isn’t subject to weather variability or fuel supply disruptions. Additionally, we need to lift outdated barriers to energy development in Wisconsin. Finally, the state must improve its investment in our public K-12 schools, technical colleges, and university campuses to bolster the workforce and support the critical biotech research at the Universities of Wisconsin. The state should also continue to be a strong partner to efforts around the Biohealth Tech Hub, and its efforts to ensure Wisconsin is a leader in this sector for years to come."

Curious what Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate David Crowley thinks of AI? Read his answer to our questionnaire here! See all questions and answers here: snapcoalition.org/initiatives/... #scipol #Wisconsin
AI in Wisconsin What does Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate David Crowley have to say about AI? "I’ve been clear that local communities should decide if a data center is right for them, and if they don’t want them, they should not be forced to accept them—no ifs, ands, or buts. If a community decides they want a data center, they need to be built with union labor, with full transparency and accountability, with 100% renewable energy, and ensuring these data centers don’t pass on a single penny to ratepayers. Large data centers cannot be allowed to shift billions of dollars in infrastructure, energy, or water costs onto families and small businesses. They should pay the full costs associated with serving their facilities, including necessary generation, transmission, and other infrastructure. Data centers have been unnecessarily secretive about their intent and impact on the community. Regardless of who it is, we need state oversight to ensure local communities are respected and protected, ratepayers don’t pick up a penny of the cost, and that Congressman Tiffany’s big tech billionaires can’t steamroll our state. Local communities deserve to do what is right for them, and as governor, I will always support that. Right now, we need state regulations on data centers because Congressman Tom Tiffany not only hasn’t done his job but has actually voted for policies that would make it harder for states to regulate AI."
