The purpose of this session is to make the case why ANS members should consider running for elected office, and then give them a grounding in what that requires, drawing on lessons from actual elected officials. This diverse group of STEM professionals turned politicians will also discuss the ways elected officials can contribute to a positive future for nuclear technology, how to file the necessary paperwork needed to begin your campaign, and what the campaign experience is like as an outsider to traditional political circles. Featuring: Rep. Angela Moore, a Biologist from Georgia's 90th District Mr. Nicholas Kapoor, Mathematician, Candidate for Connecticut's 112th. Ms. Blakely Lockhart, Neuroscientist in Virginia's 56th District.
