During a major election year, news headlines and political platforms often highlight taxes, jobs, and security issues. But what about science? Can issues like climate change, public health, or technology influence a voter’s decision? And how does media coverage vary in an election year and shape the conversation?

Join us for an evening reception and panel discussion exploring how science can take either a front or back seat in national, state, and local elections. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be provided. RSVP for this free event: https://institute.dmns.org/events/science-in-an-election-year/

This event is hosted by The Institute for Science & Policy, in partnership with The Center for Social and Environmental Futures and The Science Writers Association of the Rocky Mountains. It will take place in-person at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd, Denver, CO, 80205.
