April 2018 Ambassador Posts
Standing up for STEM
Last year, over one million people gathered in cities around the globe for the first-ever March for Science. The gathering was a show of support for the sciences, as well as a call for political leaders and policy makers to enact evidence-based policies in the public interest. We're proud to have signed on again as supporters of the 2018 March for Science, taking place on April 14. And we're going to spend this month talking about how we can stand up for STEM in a variety of ways.
As a reminder, here are some hashtags you can include in your posts:
- #IAmNYAS - When sharing your own or other Academy Members' stories.
- #Imagine300 - For posts focused on the future of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)
- #STEMRoleModels or #ScienceHeroes - For mentors, role models, leaders in their field (past and present), and people of all ages doing inspiring work in STEM.
- #FutureofSTEM - For posts focused on young people in STEM.
