In a chat between two scientists who are working or have worked in the legislative space, Sheeva chats with Adriana Bankston, PhD.
For close to a decade, Adriana Bankston has worked to nurture U.S. competitiveness in science and technology through a number of roles with universities, non-profits and scientific societies. Adriana was selected as the inaugural AAAS/ASGCT (American Association for the Advancement of Science / American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy) Congressional Policy Fellow starting in fall 2024, where she will provide science-based, independent guidance to federal policymakers on Capitol Hill. Previously, Adriana was a Principal Legislative Analyst with University of California Federal Governmental Relations, where she advocated for the university’s research priorities with Congress, the Administration and federal agencies. Adriana received the inaugural ARIS Emerging Broader Impacts Leader Award, and the Top 20 in 2022 Award For Excellence in Advocacy from The Advocacy Association among other honors.
