AIBS has joined a group of scientific, professional, and academic organizations in sending a letter to federal science agencies and departments in support of diversifying the science advisory committees.

AIBS has provided written testimony to the House Appropriations Committee regarding fiscal year (FY) 2022 funding for the National Science Foundation.

The Public Policy Report has been released. The report provides analysis and communication on important issues in the scientific community.

Scientists from across the country participated in a virtual advocacy event organized by AIBS on April 19-23, 2021 to discuss federal investments in scientific research and education with lawmakers.

On April 21, 2021, a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a revised version of the Endless Frontier Act (EFA)—a bill that would create a technology-focused directorate within the National Science Foundation (NSF).

This episode is the next in our oral history series, In Their Own Words. These pieces chronicle the stories of scientists who have made great contributions to their fields, particularly within the biological sciences. Each month, we will publish in the pages of BioScience, and on this podcast, the results of these conversations. John E. Burris is emeritus president of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. He is also a past president of AIBS. Note: Both the text and audio versions have been edited for clarity and length.

In our recent study published in BioScience, students' statements about undertaking field experiences shared a similar sentiment — one of frustration.
