Meet with Your Lawmakers This Summer and Help Inform Science Policy

Registration is now open for the Biological Sciences Congressional District Visits event.

This national initiative, organized by the American Institute of Biological Sciences, is an opportunity for biologists across the country to meet with their federal or state elected officials to showcase the people, facilities, and equipment that are required to support and conduct scientific research.

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

AIBS will schedule the meetings with lawmakers and will prepare participants through online training and one-on-one support.
“The annual congressional district visits provided me a low-stress introduction to science-based advocacy at the state level. AIBS arranged my meeting and supplied materials that helped me guide conversation with my senator. What I appreciate most about the experience was the freedom to discuss biological topics that were particularly relevant to my region.”

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 will close on July 17, 2016.
