Building on over two decades of activities and through seven Science and Technology Advisers to the Secretary of State, STAS remains a vibrant resource to Department leadership, senior Foreign Service and Civil Service officials, and bureaus across the Department. STAS also serves as a central bridge between the Department and the vast STI community in the United States and throughout the world. Tags Science Technology
