Fellowships

The American Geosciences Institute participates in the AAAS Congressional Fellowship Program to bring science experts to Congress. Congressional Fellows are key brokers of scientific knowledge for policy-makers and also learn the intricate process of developing public policy and how the legislative process works, which they can share with their science colleagues.
