Purpose of this page

This page provides a summary of the ESIP Winter 2021 meeting tutorial 'Science and the US Government: Where does your contribution fit into the picture?' held on 2021-01-27 and organized by the ESIP Agriculture and Climate Cluster. You may also be interested in another session organized by the cluster titled 'Carbon Management, Food, Agriculture, Human well-being: Using informatics to connect the climate action dots'.

People involved

• Session organizers: Brian Wee, Bill Teng
• Presenter: Brian Wee
• Provocateurs: Steve Young, Arika Virapongse
• Session attendees: Captured in the session notes Google Doc

Goals of the tutorial

1. 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.
2. 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.
