IC Chemistry Club is welcoming Steve Feldgus to IC.
Steve Feldgus got his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Wisconsin, and now he works for Congress. His talk will cover his journey to congress as well as science's use and misuse in congress. He will also be talking about nontraditional career options for scientists.

A CHEMIST GOES TO CONGRESS: SCIENCE AND SCIENTISTS IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL Why in the world would a scientist want to work for Congress? And what would they do once they got there? Is there a congressional chemistry lab in the Capitol used for all sorts of policy-making purposes? [Spoiler alert: no] Partly a discussion of nontraditional career options for scientists, and partly a rumination on the role and use/misuse of science in government, this talk is designed to shed some light on an alltoo-often murky and poorly-understood world. 

He will be presenting on Friday April 6th from 6-7pm in Textor 101.
