|
|

by Jutta Kern
When
Dr. Atkinson was appointed as Science and Technology Adviser to the
Secretary of State on September 23, 2003, he was only the second person
ever to hold this position.  The post of a Science and Technology
Adviser to the Secretary of State (STAS) was established in 2000 upon a
National Research Council (NRC) report on S&T in foreign policy.
Its mission is to serve as the principal liaison of the Department of
State with the national and international scientific community.
“Science provides opportunities but it still remains for the
institutions of government and society in general to figure out how to
use them,” Dr. Atkinson is quoted in an October 22, 2003 Department of
State (DOS) news release.
