After co-founding & leading @SciDebate for 15yrs, I'm thrilled to share it's now part of @NSPN. I could not be prouder of the org or more grateful to the wonderful ppl & partners we've built a movement with making science issues matter in elections. sciencedebate.org/about-history.… /1

Our incredible teams worked at the national & state levels to press candidates to address science policy challenges. And they did. Over the years, we've also been so encouraged by the growing community of orgs that have emerged, focused on evidence-based policies. /2

There are far too many individuals to acknowledge, but a few that deserve special recognition are @SimianMatthew, @ShawnOtto, Ryan Johnson, @chriscmooney, @LKrauss1, Darlene Cavalier @SciStarter, Austin Dacey & @halpsci who were with us from the beginning. /3

I'm looking forward to watching @SciDebate grow & evolve under new leadership @NSPN! Never has our mission been more vital to the future of democracy & our world. /4

Just noticed I tagged the wrong ‘NSPN’ in the first tweet 😳 @SciDebate is now part of the incredible @SciPolNetwork!
