On Friday morning, I will defend my dissertation.

The research explores how congressional staffers make #science policy decisions at the national level. I used to work in the Senate, which inspired this journey into the social sciences.

(Friday is also the first day of my kids' Spring Break, so they'll be coming along which should be interesting).

For those interested in the topic, I share a bit about the work on substack now & then. More results will shared there soon https://sheril.substack.com/p/a-dissertation-on-democracy
