Ithaca College

The Chemistry Club is proud to present a special speaker, Dr. Steven Feldgus, who will give a talk entitled "A Chemist Goes to Congress: Science and Scientists in the Nation's Capitol." The talk will take place Friday, April 6th at 6pm in Textor 101. The talk is free and open to all.

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 all too-often murky and poorly-understood world.
