Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is in-vitro and cyber issues aswell as ethics.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is new drug treatments.

About Me :
I was recently awarded the Reicker Fellowship for academic excellence. Before coming to Michigan, I was a Science Assistant in the Office of the Director at the National Science Foundation where I was responsible for conducting science policy research and providing policy recommendations to NSF senior management.

Interest in STPP:
I am interested in working with foundations involved in the advancement of science and technology as well as applying my interest in public policy to research in the science policy arena.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is Antibiotic Resistance.

Interest in STPP:
My interests in science and technology policy are mainly in intellectual property law, Internet and computer policy, Internet-based activism, and energy policy. 

Interest in STPP:
I am interested in how scientific research and researchers interact with the policy
realm to make decisions.  In particular, I am fascinated in how policy makers use and
interpret scientific data and new technologies to advance or impede a particular cause. 
To understand the symbioses of scientific research and governmental policy is crucial to
understanding how decisions are made regarding is crucial to both scientists that are
shaping their inquiries and to policy makers that decisions regarding that research.  The
STPP certificate curriculum allows me to explore these issues and expand my horizons by
interacting with students from a variety of schools and colleges on Michigan's campus.

The focus of my doctoral studies in materials science is the synthesis and
characterization amorphous materials that are potential candidates for electrolytes in
fuel cell and battery applications.  I also research methods to improve engineering
education by incorporating computer simulations and computational problems into classical
courses.  I am a native of Albany, NY and when not in the lab am usually out walking my
dog or watching baseball.

Interest in STPP:
As a global health policy student, my interests in the STPP program include the processes of technological development, innovation, and research and development of biotechnologies, medical drugs, and health technologies -- specifically relating to issues of social justice and
access to those technologies in the developing world.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is engineering technologies, politics, policy, law and enrepreneurship.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is Medicinal Chemistry/Pharmaceutical disease treatments.

Interest in STPP:
I have a particular interest in air quality and aspire to become involved in environmental health policy analysis. I believe the Science, Technology, and Public Policy Certificate is a great complement to my MPH degree because this academic preparation will permit me to be an effective liaison between the scientific and policy communities. After gaining experience domestically, I hope to apply my knowledge and experience at the international level, working for the United Nations Environment Programme or the WHO Public Health and Environment Programme.

Interest in STPP:
I joined the STPP program in December 2008.  I am currently a third-year Ph.D student in Applied Physics, working in the Atmospheric Oceanic and Space Sciences department .  My research is in the field of Laboratory Astrophysics and High Energy Density Physics, with focus on charged particle beam filamentation and radiative shock physics.  This work has significant social, as well as scientific impact, as it is fundamental for the US fusion campaign as outlined by the DOE.  I expect to be involved with this campaign after I receive my degree, and my desire to understand the policy decisions that drive the field has motivated my involvement in the STPP program.

Interest in STPP:
I am interested in how Science Policy affects people's health and whether different policies can lessen socioeconomic disparities.

Interest in STPP:
My interest in STPP includes obtaining  a better understanding of the science policy process at the local, state and federal levels aswell as a theoretical grounding for my dissertation research related to STPP. Helping other students learn about and become interested in STPP generally and as it relates to water resource policy. I want to understand how science is used in water supply and planning decision making particularly as it relates to reducing vulnerability to climate variability and change and study the connection between climate science research organizations and the use of climate science by state and municipal water suppliers, users and policy makers.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is molecular biology and genetics policy.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is space policy.

About Me :
I like old cars and speak five languages.

Interest in STPP:
I am especially interested in US. Science policy as it relates to the Physical
Sciences and Big Science projects. Now that the world largest accelerator is built in
Switzerland, what happens to High Energy physics in the US?  How do we train our citizen
with state of the art machines without having to send them abroad? these questions got me
really interested in science policy.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is science policy.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is macromolecular science and engineering.

Interest in STPP:
I am very interested in the manner in which science policy is developed and implemented in
the United States, mainly climate change policy. Upon graduation, I am strongly considering a career in science policy.

About Me :
My family is from Ghana, West Africa and I am very proud of my heritage.

Interest in STPP:
This is still in the developmentstages, but I think that the current stem cell debate in this state is very interesting and I cannot wait to see how the vote goes.  Debates such as that one hold wide implications for the future of health care which is a strong interest of mine.  So I am also looking for the chance when science/public policy and health care intersect.

Interest in STPP:
My passion for STPP comes from my desire to access the financial markets and specifically the carbon markets to facilitate change.

Interest in STPP:
My research interests are with radiation detection which is related to national security policy.  My passion, however, is more toward energy policy.  I want to help create an energy policy that leads to our country's energy independence.

Interest in STPP:
My field of interest is science in government policy.

About Me :
I consider myself a travel freak therefore I am borderless both mentally and physically.
I love everything Latin American and my long-term goal is to work on health issues in one
of those countries. I love to things that are multicultural by nature and hate skin deep
"beliefs" and "preferences".
I also hate and believe that people love to create boundaries for themselves and others
just to separate themselves from others one way or the other. This occurs at any level of
any society and the world is also artificially grouped into nations so that we could have
more fun living on this planet! :)

Interest in STPP:
Environmental Policy, the role of genetic polymorphism in policy decision-making,
international health policy

Interest in STPP:
My broad research interest is to use innovative technological designs (esp. social computing algorithms) to promote the true values of freedom of speech in China.
