Abstract:
Whether you write to your Congressmen every week or you don’t know what district you vote in, this session will give you the knowledge and tools to more effectively engage in science policy. Attendees will get an “advocacy 101” lesson and learn why it’s so critical for scientists and grad students to engage in advocacy. Learn about the advocacy activities offered through the Science Policy Office, including the Congressional Science Fellowship, the Congressional Visits Day and the Legislative Action Network. Panelists will each give a brief presentation before opening the floor for Q&A. The remainder of the session will be dedicated to one-on-one conversations between small groups of students and individual panelists. Registration includes lunch.
Panel speakers will include:
2016 ASA, CSSA & SSSA Congressional Science Fellow – Julia Bradley-Cook, PhD
Director, Federal Legislative Affairs, The University of Arizona – Shannon Heuberger, PhD
Government Relations Industry Representative
Congressional Visits Day alumni
