Share your stories! @asm.org is calling on members to share stories of how Federal policy changes are affecting your work and institutions. ASM will share your stories with lawmakers and staff to demonstrate impacts on specific legislative districts and states: www.votervoice.net/mobile/ASMUS...

Science has more than doubled our life expectancy, revolutionized our quality of life, and powered unprecedented technological advancement. But can we afford to take scientific progress for granted? What happens when science funding is slashed, diversity is suppressed, and pseudoscience takes hold?
