SPI is excited to offer a 4-day, non-credit version of our popular Science & Technology Policy Bootcamp over MIT Spring Break, taught by David Goldston, the current director of the MIT Washington Office, David Goldston<https://dc.mit.edu/about#David-Goldston>.

Tuesday, March 24 - Friday, March 27 at MIT. Non-credit only.
Application deadline is 11:59pm on Wednesday, February 19.
Contact: Jack Reid, jackreid at mit.edu<mailto:jackreid at mit.edu>

Apply here!<https://forms.gle/dG3w5NQrMz2x2cym8>

Undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs from all programs are welcome to apply! Note this course is non-credit only.

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.
