What organizers say

"The participants made me promise to bring Vance back for every future class, and the only complaint I received was that I hadn't brought him in sooner. Vance has set the bar incredibly high."

— Amelia Carter, Director of Industry Relations, Kentucky Beef Council (Beef Advance: Advocacy Leadership Training, 2025)

"In a speaker series that features some of the most acclaimed scientists and thinkers in the country, from MIT's Feng Zhang and Kevin Esvelt to Harvard's Sheila Jasanoff and Naomi Oreskes, yours was the most thought-provoking and unexpected."

— MIT Knight Science Journalism Fellow

"I was honestly blown away by the amount of candor in which he spoke about the challenges one faces when advocating for a cause."

— Elise Stoddard, Florida Farm Bureau
