Forefront is a Medium publication that will bring together those in the science, technology, engineering, mathematics and health communities that are interested in informing the general public about science and technology (S&T) policy. The focus is primarily on "science and technology informing policy" though some areas of "policy for science and technology," such as STEM education are also welcome.

We're particularly interested in bringing younger and unique voices together while at the same time maintaining an evidence-based publication. In addition, we want to provide an opportunity for same day publication for issues that are of immediate interest to policymakers. A third goal is to provide a home for some of the "one-time" only publications that the S&T community already puts on Medium so there is a centralized location for this material.
