>public policy dimensions of science and technology and 2) prepare women

>decision-making on science and technology policy issues.

>Students participating in the seminar will: 1) meet and learn from women
>leaders in the field of science/technology policy; 2) discuss public
>policy issues relating to science and technology and 3) learn how public
>policies affecting science and technology are shaped.

>Participants will be majors in science (including behavioral and health
>sciences), math, computer science and information technology as well as
>students with an interest in science and technology policy.
