Mission
I. Interdisciplinary Ethos: DISTILLED believes that innovations in science and technology give rise to ethical and political concerns that demand rigorous interdisciplinary discourse. Articles published in DISTILLED must be opinion pieces centered around a policy-relevant issue. An original claim or argument must be made, backed by primary academic literature sources. Furthermore, some kind of solution or follow-up action(s) should be proposed or explored.

II. Inclusivity: Contributing writers, editors, and other DISTILLED team members need no previous journalism experience -- any student passionate about interdisciplinary science and its implications for social and public policy can, throughout our extensive editorial process, work with other students, postdocs, and professors to develop ideas into articles rigorously supported by primary scientific literature.
DISTILLED strives to lower the barrier to entry of scientific publication and provide socially-oriented students of diverse backgrounds the resources and networks they need to develop their ideas into publishable essays.

III. Mentorship: As a campus-wide organization whose editorial team, authors, and readership unite undergraduate, graduate, and professional students from diverse scientific disciplines across Yale, DISTILLED has a unique opportunity to foster formal and informal communities of mentorship. Particularly, working on the publication and attending DISTILLED meetings and events affords undergraduate students the opportunity to meet more experienced student scientists and researchers, learn from their trajectories, and build mentoring relationships. More generally, by bringing together diverse students in shared work and space, DISTILLED is a hub for organic cross-disciplinary, cross-cohort community and collaboration.

No longer a community that simply offers Episcopal worship to a small group of Yale undergraduates, we have transformed this historic ministry to respond to the needs of the twenty – first century, in which young adults are the present of the church, not its future:

- Transforming undergraduate, graduate and professional students into disciples and leaders with an adult faith;
- Training the ordained clergy of the future to minister with and to the full range of young adults from 17 – 39;
- Supporting young adult Episcopalians over 21 in the local area to re-discover and co-create a vibrant church.

In all these activities our historic focus remains unchanged, “Knowing, Loving and Serving God.”

There are no specific instructions for joining our group, but we invite you to sign up for our e-blasts at the bottom of our website (http://episcopalyale.org/) to stay in the loop of our programming. We also have an Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/episcopalchurchatyale/) and a Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/EpiscopalChurchatYale/).

The Equity in the Job Search Symposium is an annual symposium that provides practical, hands-on workshops to assist graduate students and postdocs at all stages of the STEM job search.
