My office has been fortunate to host Nicole Jefferson Nicole Adia Jefferson, a 2020 COVES Fellowship, for the past few months. This morning, she was able to present her research on education concerns to @VASecofEdu. We hope to translate Nicole’s research into legislative actions.

The COVES program and our partners in other states and at @scipolnetwork get a shout-out in this article on the importance of bringing scientists into the policy world. #SciPol
