I’m a physics professor running for state house, and you should too!

As a professor of physics education research I have worked to ensure an equitable education environment for all students in pursuit of physics, astronomy, and astrophysics degrees. However, a way to push my research and advocacy even further is through participation in the law creation process. This talk will discuss my current campaign to be the next Utah state house representative in House District 24 and how I plan to use this platform to support science education at all levels. Further, I will give tips and advice to encourage audience members to take their physics degrees to their own state houses.
