Alumni Networking Happy Hours 
   Join or host one today - events already planned for Atlanta, Boston, California Bay Area, Cambridge, New York City, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Washington DC, & possibly L.A.!

Do you miss chatting with peers about the best ways to motivate kids to learn science and math or having a lively discussion about the social dimensions of Stem Cell Research and Gene Therapy and how to prevent the dystopia future of Gattaca? Do you wonder where your fellow Pugwashers have gone to?

Don't miss your invitation! Update your contact information, including your city, state, and zip.  Please forward this link to SPUSA friends and alumni so they don't miss out.

All are welcome-- you are not required to be a SPUSA alumnus.  Students will get to meet SPUSA alumni who have gone on to do amazing things in their careers. Scholars and professionals in S&T policy and STS will have the chance to network with SPUSA participants.
