The Washington Post-Schar School poll, in its second survey beyond Virginia politics, proved remarkably accurate in gauging voter sentiment in Alabama’s senatorial race.
When the U.S. Postal Inspection Service assigned forensic chemist Stephanie Smith to a temporary assignment to support the Security and Crime Prevention Group, one of her first duties was to write the job description of a new permanent scientific advisor position.

How countries invest in their own economic futures is key to raising the standard of living, developing innovation and avoiding internal and external conflicts, said Schar School of Policy and Government professor Zoltan Acs.
