Want to share the value and impact of your science with policymakers or the wider community? Check out our list of resources below! These are resources created by the American Geophysical Union (AGU) and cover topics such as how to schedule a meeting with a representative, how to share your science and work in the most impactful way, and how to craft a leave-behind or one-pager to ensure the legislator remembers your message. We have also included resources on writing op-eds or letters to the editor.
