"In January, Lin, a biologist and neuroscientist, searched for an opportunity that would fulfill both her public service and science passions. After applying to the Rutgers Eagleton Science and Politics Fellowship program, she was placed at the New Jersey Department of Human Services within the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services in August. She calls it 'the perfect placement.'"
Thanks to the additional support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the Eagleton Science and Politics Fellowship will select six Science Fellows to begin in July, 2020. Applications for next year's fellowship program are open.

Drawing from the lessons of the 2018 elections, the report highlights the successes of a new class of women officeholders across all levels of elected offices and illuminates how Black women shared in those successes while also contributing significantly as voters to overall gains for Democratic candidates.
