February 10, 2021 TriSci, a group of graduate students aimed at promoting science communication and advocacy, has been awarded a 2021 Civic Engagement Microgrant Initiative by Research!America and the Rita Allen Foundation. They are among 19 graduate student and postdoc-led science policy groups from across the U.S. to earn funding to develop and lead outreach activities in their local communities.  TriSci, made up of Heather Hamilton, polymer science and engineering,; Adaeze Egwuatu, neuroscience and behavior; and Laura Hancock, organismic and evolutionary biology; was started in 2019. The mission of the TriSci group is structured around three pillars: communication with the public, advocacy for science, and an understanding of how science and science research policy impact the scientific community and the public.
