Date: 26 March 2018
Time: 12:00pm
Location: Baker 129 Conference Room
Speaker: Long Lam and Shuchi Talati
Topic: Bringing EPP to Capitol Hill
Abstract: In this discussion-based presentation, we will first provide a brief overview of the AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellowship Program in both the executive and legislative branches, covering the program’s mission as well as the application process. We will then describe the day to day of a Congressional Fellow as well as our individual experiences in our different offices and discuss some of our long-term legislative projects. Finally, we will conclude with how EPP could benefit from more interaction with decision-makers and an increased presence in Washington, D.C.
