Congressional Visits

Promoting Science

APS members recently visited members of Congress to underscore the importance of federal funding for basic scientific research. Seen here visiting with Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa (center) are Professor John Hill (left), an experimental nuclear physicist and user of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider—a physics research machine at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York; and Professor Michael Tringides, an experimental condensed matter physicist and senior physicist at the Ames National Laboratory in Iowa.

Tip:
If visiting or writing a member of Congress, it would be helpful to take free, high-quality hardcopy versions of the Physics Success Stories from AIP's Media and Government Relations division. Please email pss@aip.org or call 301-209-3090 for a complete set.
