New Jersey's state government has received an infusion of scientific expertise thanks to the appointment of Rutgers University
Eagleton Science Fellows to assist with issues from maternal health outcomes to climate change resiliency.
The fellowship has appointed four scientists to positions in the New Jersey departments of health, human services, transportation and the Legislature. During their yearlong appointment they will serve as full-time science advisors to agency leaders and legislators. The fellowship is part of the
Eagleton Science and Politics Initiative.
The four fellows - Shin-Yi Lin, a biologist and neuroscientist; Andrew McAllister, an applied physicist; Allison McCague, a human geneticist; and Liana Vaccari, a chemical engineer; were selected from a pool of candidates with Ph.D. or equivalent degrees in the sciences for their interest in bringing scientific expertise to politics and government.
