WASHINGTON, D.C.-Womble Carlyle Senior Government Relations Advisor Mark Harkins moderated a panel discussion on "Lobbying and Advocacy in Washington" for an audience of American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellows.

Harkins’ panel discussion was part of a two-week orientation session for AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellows and was held in Washington, D.C. Numerous high-level government officials from a number of federal departments also spoke to Fellows as part of the orientation sessions.
