==Goals of the tutorial==

#Gain awareness of the science, technology, and policy (STP) landscape.  In the course of your S&T work, you might recognize landmarks and wander on over to investigate.
#Provide a broad sketch of the STP landscape for you to investigate further if you're trying to effect change.

==Three takeaway points==

*Individuals can incorporate their science and technology expertise in policy by getting in contact with the public policy staff of your respective professional societies.
*ESIP may wish to explore how to highlight and communicate the potential contribution of its science and technology constituents to policy.
*Although the meeting session focused on federal policy, there is also a role for science and technology in state, local, tribal, territorial, and international policy.
