The Population Institute’s Stanback Fellows have been working hard this summer, offering support to various organizational activities and working on their own independent projects. They surveyed the literature on the intersections of population and the environment, tracked mainstream media reporting on population trends, and supported outreach to new members of Congress, helping to advance the Institute’s mission and providing critical information to support informed decision-making. In addition, they attended and reported on pertinent Congressional hearings and a variety of key meetings of allies and partners. We organized a speaker series that featured many of our Senior Fellows and we hosted a Stanback Fellows Happy Hour for about 30 Stanback Fellows working in partner organizations throughout the Washington, DC metro area. Fellows participated in two writing workshops, one on writing op-eds and the other on communicating with policy audiences. We also did fun stuff too, like a Washington Nationals baseball game and a baking lesson on making knafeh, a Middle Eastern dessert. We are grateful for their many contributions this summer and wish them the best as they head back to Duke University!
