member spotlight APHL Marches For Science On April 22, 2017, the world saw an outpouring of support for evidence- based research that has come under threat from a variety of sources. From Svalbard, Norway to Hobart, Australia, scientists, laboratorians, friends and partners gathered to lend their voices. As a partner in the March for Science, APHL’s support was not about politics or opinions; it was about standing with colleagues, partners and members to strengthen the public health community by supporting science. The work we all do, whether as laboratory scientists or as support staff, is critical to protecting our communities from health threats. n 40 LAB MATTERS Summer 2017 PublicHealthLabs @APHL APHL.org
