英文摘要	As evidenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, the ramifications of not adequately integrating science practitioners in the ranks of US diplomatic leadership can be severe. Since President Biden's inauguration, the new administration has rightly placed science as a key discipline to drive the trajectory of both US domestic and foreign policy ([ 1 ][1]). To implement this goal, the Biden administration should appoint more scientists and engineers to the senior ranks of the State Department. Achieving broad human progress goals, as articulated in many of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals ([ 2 ][2]), will require that diplomacy and policy-making be informed by science. If the United States follows through with its plans to center science in decision-making, it can provide vital leadership in addressing emerging global challenges. Some of the most effective international agreements were forged through science-based policy crafting. The Antarctic Treaty System of 1959 ([ 3 ][3]) enables research at the South Pole. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 ([ 4 ][4]) facilitates the work at the International Space Station. The Montreal Protocol of 1987 ([ 5 ][5]) stymied the depletion of the ozone layer. The success of these treaties demonstrates that international cooperation informed by science is already a model for future progress. Harnessing the talents of the United States' leading scientists and engineers is key to the advancement of its foreign policy and the resolution of national security priorities. To accomplish this goal, the Biden-Harris administration should create a new position of undersecretary for scientific affairs and reestablish the science affairs officer within the State Department. Scientists and engineers should also be installed in the Foreign Service and at the National Security Council. As the Biden-Harris transition proclaimed: The people have chosen science ([ 6 ][6]). It is the responsibility of our diplomatic community and our partners in science and technology to make good on that choice. 1. [↵][7]1. J.
