[Nhcoll-l] Deadline Approaching to Meet with Your Lawmakers about Science

[Julie Palakovich Carr]

Registration closes in two days for the Biological Sciences Congressional
District Visits. This national initiative, initiated and organized by the
American Institute of Biological Sciences, is an opportunity for scientists
across the country to showcase for their elected officials the people,
facilities, and equipment required to advance scientific research and
education.

Now in its eighth year, the event enables scientists, graduate students,
and representatives of research facilities to meet with their federal and
state elected officials without traveling to Washington, DC. Participants
may invite their elected officials to visit their research facility or meet
at the policymaker’s local office.

AIBS will schedule the meetings with lawmakers and will help participants
prepare through online training and one-on-one support.

The event is made possible by the American Institute of Biological
Sciences, with the support of event sponsors Botanical Society of America,
Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology, Natural Science Collections
Alliance, Paleontological Society, Society for Freshwater Science, and
Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections.

Participation is free, but registration is required. You must register by
17 July 2016. For more information and to register, visit
