Today, I am in the
other Washington visiting the my senators and representative (or their staffs) to advocate for science. My personal points are simple:
- Continue to increase NIH and NSF funding.
- Ask that the arbitrary limits on human embryonic stem cell research be removed and more logical system of oversight be instituted.
I will also put in some words for this great organization on the UW campus called
FOSEP. McDermott, Murray and Cantwell are already on board with science, but I suppose it is still good for scientists to be known...
I am here with the
Joint Steering Committee for Public Policy. You should consider signing up for their email notification list. (They only send one email a quarter.)

If you get a chance, seek out Minnesota 4th District Rep Betty McCollum. She's my rep, and very education and science friendly. I have done some volunteer work for her, she may or may not remember my name, but it is worth a shot.
Have fun out there!
well? how'd it go?
