To become better informed about the research conducted at DOE user facilities, members of Congress extended an invitation for the facilities to take part in a science exhibition on Capitol Hill on April 7. As one of about 40 user facilities participating in the exhibition, ARM provided content for a poster display in the Rayburn House Office Building and was represented at the event by Jimmy Voyles, ARM Chief Operating Officer.

Several congressmen, staffers, and DOE and national laboratory managers stopped by the ARM Facility poster, which provided an overview and images of key features of the facility, including sites, instruments, data, and outreach. It also included key statistics about user demographics and publications citing ARM data. Voyles answered a variety of questions about ARM’s data products, collaborations, and contributions to climate research advances. The poster session was followed by an informal reception with short keynote addresses by invited speakers. For more information about the event, visit the National User Facility Organization website.
