Funding Information: This past year, I had the incredible privilege of serving as the AMS Congressional Fellow. I was one of thirty-six PhD scientists with a wide range of scientific backgrounds serving in Congress—in personal offices and on commit- tee staff, in both chambers, and on both sides of the aisle. Although the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) organizes the Congressional Science and Engineering Fellowship program, nearly all of the Fellows in my cohort were sponsored by scientific associations like AMS. The Congressional Fellows joined over 200 Ex- ecutive Branch Fellows and a single Judicial Branch Fellow to form the 2017–2018 Fellowship class. The goal of the Fellowship is to bring scientific perspective and technical expertise to the legislative process while affording scientists a voice in the conversations that shape our nation’s public policy. Given that less than three percent of Congress has a background in science or engineering and the rapidly increasing rate at which our lawmakers are forced to make decisions within highly technical and scientific frameworks, it is more important than ever that scientists are part of the legislative process.
