  <title><![CDATA[Communicating Technical Research to Policymakers and Media]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Science and technology are rapidly emerging as driving forces in society with impacts penetrating decisions of economic development, education, environment and more.</p><p>Policymakers need to be able to understand the implications of technical topics such as a broadband access, cyber-security, nanotechnology and radar technology. The complex character of these topics makes explaining them to non-scientists very challenging.</p><p>This seminar will expose and equip academic and industry researchers to the tools and vocabulary to translate and explain emerging science and technology (S&amp;T) issues to state and federal level policymakers.</p><p>The target audience for this seminar is Georgia Tech and GTRI researchers; IRC directors and Policy@Tech Partners.</p>]]></body>
