Dear Mid-Atlantic Chapter Leaders,
I am writing today to invite Sigma Xi Chapter Leaders to attend a Zoom Meeting with me, Dan Rubenstein, and Jaime Vernon as a call to "re-energize our chapters" as champions of trust in science. As Dr. Rubenstein discussed in the latest issue of American Science, "Sigma Xi can play a significant role in rebuilding trust in science as an enterprise that can create knowledge that can transform people’s lives. The way to do so is through compelling ’Story Telling’, but we need the scientific champions who can reach out to local communities where they are known and respected"
Please let me know if you--a Sigma Xi Chapter Leader, or someone designated by one of the chapter leaders can attend at either of the two times below. We will pick one of these that has the most support and will have our meeting then.
Please respond back to me directly at goodd@vt.edu letting me know your availability on Wednesday March 4th during the following two times:
11:30-12:30
12:30-1:30
Please also provide me with your chapter affiliation, and your role in the chapter's leadership.
Thanks,
As always,
Debby
