Are you interested in science policy and curious about how you can use your expertise to help inform policy makers? Come to a luncheon event at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco to learn how you can better inform legislators. The “Communicating With Congress” workshop will emphasize that good policy is informed by good science. As a scientist, you have every reason to establish a relationship with your legislators. At the event, AGU's 2009–2010 Congressional Science Fellow, Maeve Boland, will use her experience as a scientist and legislative staff member to teach you how to effectively share your science with local and national policy makers.
