Senate highlights CCST science fellows' contributions to policymaking
Summary
Multiple senators introduced 2026 California Council on Science and Technology (CCST) science fellows on the floor, citing their roles analyzing bills on public health, environmental policy, and transportation and the fellows’ plans to continue in public service.
Senators took time to recognize CCST science fellows who have worked in legislative offices this year. Senator Weber Pearson introduced fellow Natalie Guerrare, noting her background in genomics and molecular biology and her work analyzing bills on public health and biomedical research for evidence-based policymaking; Senator Allen introduced Dr. Emily Miao and praised her contributions on environmental and technical bills. Other senators including Cortese and Blake Spear highlighted fellows assigned to their committees for helping translate complex science into legislative language.
"Natalie has demonstrated a strong commitment to science and facts in her work and with the committee," Weber Pearson said, summarizing the fellow’s contributions to health-related oversight hearings and staff analysis. Senate leaders said the fellowship provides a pipeline of technically trained staff who support policymaking across committees.
