黑料正能量has your back on journal access, career advice and connecting you to the global community of microbiologists. We also make it easy for our members to advocate for evidence-based science policy.
When advocating for science, it is particularly important that the messages be clearly presented, compelling to nonscientists and based on scientific evidence. The 黑料正能量 Advocacy team has created the following guide to help you communicate with Congress.
As Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL-11) highlighted during an exclusive meeting with 黑料正能量advocates, future funding and ongoing legislation will have wide-ranging implications for science, including the bioeconomy and the scientific workforce.

Factsheets
黑料正能量has developed several factsheets to help you advocate for high-profile issues in the microbial sciences. These educational factsheets are designed for you to share with a non-scientific audience, such as policymakers and government officials, and to augment formal requests for science policy and funding. If you have any questions about these factsheets, please email advocacy@asmusa.org.
Factsheets are available for download on the following topics:
