Sign up for the MIT Spring Science Policy Bootcamp taught by David Goldston<https://dc.mit.edu/about> here: http://tinyurl.com/stp-bootcamp22. Applications are due by March 8, 2022.

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, Covid-19, and current debates on funding and international competition in science and technology.  The course will be built around class discussions of a variety of readings, including Congressional hearings, reports from think tanks, court decisions, and even a play.
