Ross | R000305 | ross.house.gov | ross | https://ross.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Today, Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02) introduced a resolution expressing support for the designation of October 1st as National Science Day in the United States. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was founded on October 1st in 1958. This national observance would provide an opportunity to recognize and celebrate American scientific achievements and inspire the next generation of leaders in these fields. “Science is at the heart of progress, driving advancements in health, technology, environmental sustainability, and more,” said Congresswoman Ross. “I am proud to represent a district that includes much of the Research Triangle Park – a community that fundamentally understands the power of science to change lives for the better. Establishing a National Science Day will serve as a reminder of the critical role that science plays in all of our lives and help to continue fostering the quintessentially American belief in the importance of innovation and discovery.” Last month, Congresswoman Ross led a bipartisan group of her colleagues in sending a letter urging President Biden to designate October 1, 2024 –- or another appropriate day – as National Science Day in the United States. In 2021, Congresswoman Ross first introduced a resolution to designate a National Science Day. Ross serves as a member of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
