2025 Legislative Season

Science Policy Committee
 
The KAS Science Policy Committee tracks legislation on health, the environment, educations and other issues that matter to the science community throughout each Kentucky General Assembly session. We welcome all members interested in joining this committee or just dropping in for a meeting. We meet online at 12:30 p.m. (ET) on the second Wednesday of each month. Email us if you'd like to join.
 

Scientists' Advocacy Toolkit

There are many ways to stay connected to policy making and offer your input, even if you can't make a trip to the State Capitol. If you'd like to learn more about how to follow policy making and give science a strong voice as decisions are made, check out our online Advocacy Toolkit.
 

Science Advocacy Workshops

KAS offers free workshops for members who want to have the tools, know-how, and motivation to make their voices heard when public policy decisions are made.

Our 2025 Science Advocacy Workshop series starts January 24 and culminates with a Capitol visit February 28. Participants who attend all sessions receive a Kentucky Science Advocate certification.
