Where Do Scientists Belong in Policy?

I finished my Ph.D. in July and promptly packed up and moved to D.C. Why? I have had a long-standing interest in science policy and wanted learn how scientists fit in the process. As I try to find my place in the science policy world, I'm interested in knowing where you, our readers, think scientists belong.
