This is such a great opportunity for STEM grad students or postdocs. These dollars can be spent to further science policy, science communication, and many other activities! Please share! I'd particularly love to see some applications from WV this year. :)

WVU Science Policy members met with Senator Capito in D.C. last week. x.com/savgsims/status/986971…

I had the honor of visiting D.C. with the WVU Science Policy Organization last week. We had productive meetings discussing SCIENCE at @WestVirginiaU with Senate and House offices. We had a lengthy meeting with @SenCapito, herself!

This week, I visited D.C. as part of @WVUScience's annual Hill Day and had the opportunity to meet with legislative offices to talk about the importance of science and graduate education! I even had the pleasure of meeting @SenCapito. We had a great chat about biomedical science!
