Welcome to Episode 1, Season 2 of SciPol SoundBites, the podcast of the Journal of Science Policy & Governance! 

Today’s episode we celebrate the release of the joint issue between the Journal of Science Policy and Governance and the National Science Policy Network resulting from the 2020 policy memo competition. We would like to congratulate the competition winners who will be featured in this episode, all of whom are graduate students. Gabrielle Delima (Twitter and LinkedIn) is from Emory University, Kyla Mace (LinkedIn) from University of Pennsylvania, and Alex Hsain (Twitter and LinkedIn) from North Carolina State University. Together authors address policy issues at the state and federal level around health care, education, public health, gender equality and the economy.

In this episode, Gabrielle, Kyla, and Alex describe their policy memos published in JSPG Special Issue: 2020 Policy Memo Competition, ​produced in collaboration with the National Science Policy Network (NSPN).
