Subject: STEM Solutions in Public Policy; $1000 research stipend

Dear Grad Students,

Have you ever thought: “There ought to be a law…”. Please see the message below if you are interested in drafting a statement for potential California legislation.

I know lots of you have great ideas. Previous proposals have addressed mental health, water quality, product safety, climate change, utilities and energy, privacy, research funding, education, and more.

Sincerely,

Chris Amemiya, QSB chair
