Science Policy Specialty Group
Society members who have an interest in learning more about science policy issues and the specific ways they can get involved in advocacy, should sign up to be part of the Science Policy Specialty Group. By joining the SPSG, you will be the first to hear about upcoming policy issues or legislative actions and receive instructions specifically tailored to your members of Congress for maximum effect.
