LIFE researcher Philip Bell served as a witness before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science and Technology’s subcommittee on Research and Science Education. Bell, who co-chaired the National Research Council’s Committee on Learning Science in Informal Environments, testified about informal science education a hearing examining the role of informal environments in promoting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning. The Science and Technology Committee has made STEM learning a top priority and is investigating how out-of-school experiences can promote engagement in the sciences and help attract more Americans to STEM fields.
