Missed out on learning about science and tech policy over IAP? SPI is happy to announce a Spring variant of our popular IAP Science & Technology Policy Bootcamp, taught by current MIT Washington, D.C. Office<http://dc.mit.edu/> Director David Goldston<http://dc.mit.edu/about#David-Goldston>.

ISSUES IN U.S. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY POLICY
This course will start with an overview of the origins and structures of federal science and technology policy in the U.S., and then will probe perennial and current issues that arise in the use of science in policy, and in the governance of science.  Topics will include the use of science in environmental policy, questions regarding conflicts of interest and current debates on international competition in science and technology.  The course will be built around class discussions of a variety of readings, including of Congressional hearings, reports from think tanks, and perhaps court decisions and even a play.

•        Undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs from all schools are welcome.
•        Enrollment is limited. Accepted students MUST commit to attend all sessions to earn a spot in the class.
•        Non-credit only, but we'll feed you.
•        Questions? Contact abajwa at mit.edu<mailto:abajwa at mit.edu>.
