Q&A: Anna Quider advises the STEM community on federal policy
By Toni Feder
A love of science and ease in communicating led her to start a consulting firm that aims to broaden opportunities in science and technology.
While working on her PhD in astronomy at the University of Cambridge, Anna Quider realized that although she loved knowing and promoting science, discovering something like a new stellar population wasn’t motivating for her; she would be happy to be “the champion for the person who is making those discoveries.” She earned her PhD in 2011, ditched her plans to pursue an academic career, and pivoted to science policy.
In 2023, she launched her consultancy, the Quider Group, through which she advises research and higher-education organizations on science policy, congressional and agency engagement, grantsmanship, and advocacy.
