Ryan Davison is the Manager of Advocacy at the American Chemical Society (ACS). In certain circles, he could be considered a lobbyist. Davison advocates in Washington, D.C., for more basic, fundamental scientific research. The ACS is the world's largest scientific society, and much of the research done by many scientists can take years...often too long a period of time for many members of Congress to consider worth investing in.
