Session Chairs/Organizers: William Murray (GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy), Eric Meyer (Generation Atomic) Unimpressed by who you see on your ballot each election? Think you could do better? We want to make YOU a publicly elected professional! This event will demonstrate why the nuclear profession needs people with STEM expertise writing laws, and we will give YOU the fundamentals of starting a run for public office. Come and speak with our diverse group of panelists that have already expanded their STEM careers through service in local, state, and federal leadership positions as elected officials and candidates for office. Audience members are encouraged to ask questions, get inspired, and wear a lab coat in solidarity when science replaces suits in our seats of public service! Disclaimer: This event includes members from across the political spectrum that have come together in support of science and the rise of science-literate candidates for public office. Any statements made by participants reflect only their individual views, not the views of their employers, the ANS, or YMG-ANS. Panelists: Eric Meyer (Generation Atomic) Yehudis Gottesfeld (Chemical Engineer; Candidate for US House of Representatives) Kevin Spears (IT Professional; City Council Member for Wilmington, NC) Andrew Zwicker (Princeton Plasma Physics Lab; Member of the New Jersey General Assembly)
