The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) provides opportunities for scientists of all backgrounds to leverage their expertise at the policy and programmatic levels of government in Washington DC. This experience brings much needed scientific methodology to the Federal Government while also providing unique experiences to researchers. I served as an officer in the Biosecurity Engagement Program (BEP) at the U.S. Department of State from 2015-2016 working with an international group of scientists to reduce biological threats.
