CASFER Brings Scientific Innovation to Capitol Hill

Earlier this week, we represented CASFER at the Congressional Showcase of National Science Foundation (NSF)-powered Research in Washington, D.C.

Hosted by the Coalition for National Science Funding, this bipartisan event gathered 20+ NSF-funded initiatives under one roof. As lawmakers and policy experts toured the showcase, we demonstrated how CASFER's breakthrough work transforms theoretical concepts into practical solutions that strengthen communities and advance American innovation.

The atmosphere was energizing—watching representatives from across the political spectrum engage with cutting-edge science reminded us of research's unique power to unite through shared pursuit of progress.

Standing near the Capitol, explaining our work to those who shape national science policy, was both humbling and motivating. We've returned with fresh perspectives and renewed determination.

We're immensely proud of CASFER's contributions and grateful for the opportunity to showcase them on such a significant stage.
