Congressional Breakfast

As a special event within the conference, Krell again organized a Computational Scientists of the Future Breakfast, held in the Rayburn House Office Building. Krell coordinated this breakfast to provide government officials with an opportunity to meet their constituent Fellows.

Representative Tom Latham (R-IA) provided opening remarks at the breakfast and spoke about the importance of educating Congress about the vital work of today’s young scientists. He encouraged Fellows to meet with the Congress people and talk to them about science and technology issues. Prior to his remarks, the Fellows had time to mingle with several Congressional staffers in attendance.

Additionally, several Fellows had individual meetings with Senators and Representatives during the annual conference. Krell was pleased to assist in facilitating these individual meetings.
