The 2023 class of Fellows marked the 14th year of placing Ph-D level scientists, engineers, and social scientists directly into legislative offices, policy committees, and more recently State Agencies and Offices of the Governor to prepare them for public service through the S&T Policy Fellowship Program. Working in placements that included the California Governor's Office of Planning and Research, California Natural Resources Agency, Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee, California Department of Insurance, Senate Environmental Quality Committee, California Air Resources Board, Assembly Transportation Committee, and more, CCST S&T Policy Fellows made an impact across a range of policy and regulatory fields. Altogether, CCST S&T Policy Fellows have worked on over 1,400 bills, briefings, hearings, and bill analyses. There are now 158 alumni of the program, many of whom serve in positions in legislative offices and agencies. With the arrival of the 2024 class in November 2023, 172 Fellows have now been trained to work directly with policymakers as trusted staff.

Over the past 35 years, CCST's approach to partnering and facilitating dialogue across institutions - including our renowned Partner Institutions - and disciplines has allowed CCST to create a collective impact that exceeds what any single institution could accomplish on its own.Collaboration continued to be key in 2023. CCST conducted a joint study with Blue Forest Conservation that investigated links between forest management, wildfire smoke, and the health sector and released a peer reviewed report, "The Human Health Benefits of Improving Forest Health in California".CCST partnered with the Federation of American Scientists, COMPASS, and Conservation X Labs to develop policy memos for the Federal Wildland Fire Mitigation and Management Commission, charged with providing wildfire policy recommendations to Congress. As a result of ongoing outreach with congressional offices, several report recommendations were included in a congressional letter to federal agencies urging them to take action to improve smoke data.CCST published "Key Challenges for California's Energy Future" to help current and incoming policymakers quickly get up to speed on key energy issues. CCST consulted with policymakers and more than 30 experts across California's preeminent academic and research institutions. The resulting peer-reviewed energy primer offers an overview of California's energy transition prepared by the Steering Committee, followed by background on eight high-level key challenges, including environmental justice and equity considerations, key policies, and resources for more information.An inaugural "Science Day" at California Natural Resources Agency kicked off S&T Week 2023, CCST's annual flagship event. Science Day featured two panel discussions with leaders, "Successful Science-Based Partnerships, and A Cross-Sectoral Call to Action: Meeting California's Climate Goals While Building Resilience."Following Science Day, CCST hosted its 35th Anniversary Reception and Leadership Awards Ceremony, where it recognized California Air Resources Board Chair Liane Randolph and California State Senator John Laird as recipients of the 2023 CCST Leadership Awards for Science in Public Service.CCST Expert Briefings convene leading experts from CCST's Partner Institutions and beyond to address pressing scientific and technical questions facing California policymakers. In 2023, CCST held a series of six briefings, focused on identifying and addressing the key issues on the California policy landscape critical to ensuring long-term disaster resilience; Lithium Extraction from Geothermal Brine; Building a Domestic Lithium Supply Chain; Study: Human Health Benefits of Improving Forest Health; Agrivoltaics in California's Water-Energy-Food Nexus; Training Tomorrow's Cybersecurity Workforce; Innovations in Desalination.
