Washington DC Nano News - Science Showcase on the Hill
authored by Margaret Glass, ASTC
June 25 was the 14th Congressional exhibition and reception of the Coalition for National Science Funding. The coalition includes over 120 organizations, associations, and universities that track federal spending on science research. They also sponsor an annual Capitol Hill showcase of projects funded by NSF. It’s a nice event - held in the Rayburn Office Building and catered, with fancy but substantial appetizers and wine and beer. Free food and drinks at the dinner hour is a sure way to draw a crowd anywhere – especially on the Hill.
