AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowships: A scientist's experience in Congress
Abstract: At
a
time
when
a
constant
refrain
in
Congress
is
"I
am
not
a
scientist",
what
is
a
scientist
to
do?
Go
work
for
a
Congressman.
I
will
give
an
overview
of
the
AAAS
fellowship
program
and
my
experiences
working
in
a
Congressional
office.
I
will
discuss
what
it
is
like
communicating
science
to
policy
makers
on
Capitol
Hill,
what
some
of
the
biggest
challenges
are
and
what
scientists
can
do
to
impact
policy.
Bring
your
questions!
