Factsheets

棉花糖直播 has developed several factsheets to help you advocate for high-profile issues in the microbial sciences. These educational factsheets are designed for you to share with a non-scientific audience, such as policymakers and government officials, and to augment formal requests for science policy and funding. If you have any questions about these factsheets, please email advocacy@asmusa.org.

Factsheets are available for download on the following topics:
