Spring Hill Day

Following the Maize Genetic Conference, Karl and Frank went to Washington D.C. to participate in Spring Hill Day, organized by the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB). First he met up with Anastasia for dinner at the Founding Farmer's restaurant, and then he spent a whole day meeting with Senators, Representatives, and their staff to talk about the importance of funding basic science research. In times of budget uncertainty, ASBMB felt it was important to have some of the next generation of scientists to tell the US leaders about the importance of their work. And Frank was a hit with them, too!
