<b>Please join us on Monday, November 6th, for the STS
Colloquium:<br><br>
<div align="center"><font size=4 color="#0000FF">WHAT IS THE ROLE OF STS
IN PUBLIC POLICY?<br>
TED POSTOL<br><br>
</font></div>
<u>Professor Postol provided the following abstract:<br>
</u></b>The work of the Science, Technology, and Global Security Working
Group (STGS) is focused on global security problems associated with
modern military applications of science and technology. These
security problems range from those as basic as the proliferation of
nuclear weapons to the uses of science and technology in general
applications of modern military power. This talk will discuss a
wide range of what at first sight might appear as narrow technical
studies, but in fact address profound cultural, social, political, and
economic issues that are connected to the core values of our
society.<br>
<br>
<b>The talk will be held at 4:00 pm in E51-095.<br>
