Vote for Science, Y’all!

It’s time to have your voice heard. Speak up for science, y’all! Every year at the Atlanta Science Festival Exploration Expo, we offer resources and information on science issues at the state and national level.

With the election a little over a month away, we wanted to offer some of those same resources here and encourage you to vote, so we’ve partnered with our friends at Science for Georgia to share the helpful resources they’ve pulled together.
