As ASBMB leaders meet w/Congress on Capitol Hill today, they are highlighting why NSF’s role is so important in driving innovation. NSF is the only federal agency funding all areas of fundamental science.

You can share the impact of science research too: www.asbmb.org/advoca.... #ScienceServesUsAll
