*David Goldston, Ph.D.*

Is the new Congress "anti-science"?
What can scientists do to improve the use of science in policy making?
What are the gravest dangers in the relationship between scientists and
politicians today and how can they be reduced? David Goldston, will
address these and related questions, drawing on his experience working
for and with both parties in Congress.

spent more than 20 years on Capitol Hill, working primarily on science
policy and environmental policy. He was Chief of Staff of the House
Committee on Science from 2001 through 2006. After retiring from
government service, Goldston was a visiting lecturer at Princeton
University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs
in 2007 and at the Harvard University Center for the Environment in 2008
and 2009. From 2007 through November 2009, he wrote a monthly column
for Nature on science policy titled “Party of One.” He also was the
project director for the Bipartisan Policy Center report “Improving the
Use of Science in Regulatory Policy,” which was released in August 2009.
He serves on the National Academy of Sciences’ Aeronautics and Space
Engineering Board. Since 2006, Goldston has also co-chaired an American
Physical Society study on energy efficiency and has served on panels
producing reports under the auspices of the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences and OMB Watch. He holds a B.A. (1978) from Cornell University
