Abstract: Over the last few months, the US federal science and technology policy landscape has been shifting rapidly. The ways in which science and engineering are being used to inform policy and the ways in which the federal government shapes, supports, and directs science and engineering don’t look like they did just a few months ago. Join us for a webinar with Dr. Deborah Stine, who will share not only a lifetime of S&T Policy experience, but also her insights into the latest happenings in Washington, DC. The webinar will start with a discussion with Dr. Stine followed by a chance for questions from the audience.
