Our Work
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.
Highlights from the 2026 fair
Visitors experienced the wonder of research through hands-on demonstrations and interactive exhibits, met scientists, explored breakthrough technologies, and saw how discovery research improves lives.
Powerful microscopes
Attendees explored the microscopic world up close.
A DNA test for your taste buds
Visitors discovered how their genes influence what they taste.
3D-printed brains
Exhibits showed how cutting-edge technology is shaping the future of medicine.
