Scientist colleagues, write to your hometown paper and tell folks about your work, what motivates it, and what impact it could have. Aim for publication June 16.
Federal research cuts impact local economies, and stall progress.
Publish an opinion piece in your hometown paper on June 16th to SPREAD THE WORD about how scientific research contributes to the everyday health and wealth of the general public.
