ASBMB’s Capitol Hill Day
The Public Affairs Advisory Committee advocates on behalf of ASBMB members for evidence-based science policy, sustained investments in fundamental research, and workplace policies that enhance the training of the next generation of scientists and that increase diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in the nation’s research enterprise. Every year, our committee members come to Washington, D.C., to ensure that policymakers recognize the importance of science funding and supporting the science workforce.
