We had a fantastic time on Capitol Hill at the Life Science Fair hosted by @c4lifesciences.bsky.social and the Congressional Biomedical Research Caucus🏛️✨ ASHG staff and members connected with legislators, highlighted the impactful work of ASHG members, and even brought hands-on science activities🧬
Took a day off the OMB reg to hold a Science Fair in Congress! So cool seeing staffers learn about the microbiome, the dna of taste, CarT, etc. 🔬
What’s unique about NIH programs is the rigorous evaluation. Where else do you find a new career training program with 20 year follow up? We hope business leaders and NGOs take note of the methods!
