Life Science Fair

Every summer, the members of the Coalition for the Life Sciences bring real-life demonstrations of science to Capitol Hill — free, open to all, and designed to show policymakers and the public why discovery research matters. The 2026 fair has ended, and we are grateful to everyone who participated.
