“Science and technology (S&T) play increasingly important roles in our society and for those who govern. From energy policy to the environment, from health care to economic competitiveness, and from science education to immigration, S&T research and its products are critical to many issues on the agendas of Congress and the Executive Branch. Yet, very little of the campaign coverage and candidates’ discussion focuses on S&T issues. In response, the AAAS [American Association for the Advancement of Science] Center for Science, Technology and Congress, with support from the Lounsbery Foundation, has created this Web site as a resource on candidates’ S&T positions, and to provide the research community with a vehicle for informing the candidates on emerging S&T issues. The Web site includes news updates, highlights of and links to candidates’ S&T statements and positions, links to other S&T presidential projects, reports, surveys, and events.”
