Abstract
This article is a first-person account of the strategy and experiences, over the past 3 years, of the first Science and Technology Advisor to the US Secretary of State—a position created based on a study by the NAS/NRC on the role of science, technology, and health issues in current foreign policy. It stresses the importance of having more scientists either as Fellows or career officers in the Department of State. It also presents a strong case for the value of science and technology cooperation as an instrument of soft-power diplomacy in strengthening ties among nations and building technical capacity in the developing world.
