The challenge for policymakers is that they don’t always have a background in the topic that legislation is being made on—and they’re not expected to be experts in everything. “But they need to understand these issues to develop policies about them,” Lewis says.

While not all policies are directly related to science, Lewis makes the point that many policy issues today are scientific in nature, citing climate change, energy, public health, manufacturing, critical materials, and science, technology, engineering, and math education, to name a few.
