Shaughnessy Naughton Email & Phone Number

As President of ​314 Action​, Shaughnessy Naughton is frequently called upon by media outlets and other interest groups to speak about the urgent need to elect more scientists and physicians at every level of government. She has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Scientific American, Science Magazine and BBC America. Her passionate commitment to increasing the number of professionals with scientific training in Congress is deeply personal.As an entrepreneur with a degree in chemistry, and a background in drug research, Shaughnessy grew increasingly concerned for the future of science in the United States, and the lack of fact-based, problem-solving solutions being initiated in Congress. In 2014, after more than ten years in business, Shaughnessy stepped into the political arena, running for Congress in Pennsylvania’s 8th District. It was a leap of faith, strengthened by a commitment to taking her scientific training and experience to Washington, D.C.Although unsuccessful in her bid for office, the experience and what she learned prompted Shaughnessy to form 314 Action in June 2016 to encourage and unite the scientific community around the political process, and advance a pro-science agenda.
