WHAT’S GOING ON & WHAT’S COMING UP
Solving For Science in Action
Scientists showed up this month — at the Capitol and at dinner tables across the country. Here's what we did together.
MEMBERS IN ACTION
Solving for Science Members at the Rally for Science
The Rally for California Science was a major gathering where researchers, students, and advocates converged on the State Capitol in Sacramento to push lawmakers and the public to pass SB 895 — bipartisan legislation that would put a $23 billion bond for scientific research on the November ballot.

MEMBERS IN ACTION
Good Food. Real Talk. Better Science.
On May 8th, scientists in Portland pulled up a chair, poured a glass, and got to work — not on a grant, not on a paper, but on each other. Connection is the strategy. Dinner is just where it starts.

Becoming a better MENTOR
2026
Your lab runs on the people in it. This collection breaks down what strong mentorship looks like in practice, from setting expectations in week one to giving feedback that actually lands, so trainees stay longer, projects stall less, and your people leave ready to run labs of their own.
