From founding STEM education non-profits after finishing two Harvard programs to researching electronic health systems and their data policies with national funding, Dr. Davis and Professor Demiris bring diverse backgrounds, wisdom, and experience to PIT@Penn to help you in your next steps as a biologist or scientist who wants to effect positive change to their community.

Feel free to come prepared with questions! Register for FREE hot chocolate (which we will distribute on Locust Walk on 12/3 between 11:15am-1:00pm)!

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish Michael Smerconish is one of the nation’s most visible media personalities, with a daily radio show on Sirius/XM and a Saturday CNN show. He also provides analysis on CNN for big events, writes columns and books, and more. Maybe most uniquely: Michael is one of the few voices in the media who can’t be pigeonholed ideologically. He’ll be fielding questions on what it’s like to be somewhere in the center in our increasingly ideological media, how the media shapes our politics, what we can do to build a media that better serves the public, and whether prominent figures should be blacklisted from the media if they can’t tell the truth. We’ll also cover the state of politics and whether our two party system is capable of representing Americans like him in 2023. Michael will also field questions from the audience.Learn More
