Each year, the AAS brings volunteers to Washington, DC, to learn how to advocate for science as part of our Congressional Visits Day (CVD). In this guest post, CVD volunteer Lindsey Wiser describes her experience at this year's CVD. #ExploreAstronomy aas.org/posts/advocacy…
The satcon forecast is depressing: doubling time for number of satellites is now only about one year. Much more than astronomy at stake now. @AAAS_STPF fellow @jsreding from @NSF speaking to @AAS_Policy CVD cohort. Data from @planet4589.
OSC's Mariel Borowitz is at the @UN in Vienna as part of the U.S. delegation to the #COPUOS Scientific and Technical Subcommittee, working to promote the long term sustainability of space through international collaboration #COPUOS2024 #STSC61 #TraCSS
🇺🇸 at #STSC61: @NASA, @USGS, @NOAA are fully committed to assisting in the effective management of disasters worldwide and the reduction of disaster risk to promote community resilience. Read U.S.🇺🇸statement on “Space-system-based Disaster Management Support” at #COPUOS2024…
The @colgateuniv winters were unbearable but worse were Prof. Balonek's emails-- "IT'S A CLEAR NIGHT FOLKS, I DON'T SEE YOU OBSERVING" 10 years later, Josh Reding and I stand in the humid, sticky DC heat as @AAAS_STPF fellows advising Congress and the @NSF on space.
Congrats to (now) former @NCCommerceOffice & Board of Science, Technology & Innovation #STEMPolicy Fellow, Dr. @jsreding, for continuing his policy career as a AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellow (@AAAS_STPF) in the @NSF's Division of Astronomical Sciences!
