What's STP PIC About?
 

Many students at the Kennedy School are interested in science and technology policy, beyond the MPPs who elect the STP PAC concentration. The science and technology policy field is inherently interdisciplinary, linking together areas such as economic development, foreign policy, law, ethics, and governance. Few if any aspects of human history and our life today are not entangled with STP-related questions - questions that need to be asked and addressed more often than they are.
