Dr. Duncan Thomas represented PAA and APC at the 14th
Annual Coalition for National Science Funding Capitol
Exhibition in Washington, DC. The purpose of the event was
to educate members of Congress, congressional staff and
other federal employees about the breadth and significance
of scientific research supported by the National Science
Foundation.

Dr. Thomas presented his work on the social and economic
effects of the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, focusing
on the population in Sumatra, Indonesia. His work has
important implications for understanding the diagnosis and
duration of post-traumatic stress reactivity.
