Effective Meetings with Congress: How to Advocate for Federal Science Funding
Nothing beats a face-to-face conversation. With the Administration’s proposed cuts to science funding threatening our community, meeting with your Senators’ and Representative’s offices is one of the most impactful actions you can take.
