\begin{abstract}
Hi Reddit! I am Ray Garant and am the director of public policy at the
American Chemical Society. Ask me anything about environmental and
regulatory policy, advancing innovation, science education, and/or
energy/climate policy. I manage policy development and messaging for the
ACS with a portfolio that spans scientific innovation, jobs, education,
and science policy, as well as the international, environmental and
regulatory arenas. I also oversee the ACS Science \& the Congress
Project (www.acs.org/scicon), a well-respected program of congressional
staff briefings and that improve decision makers' understandings of the
role that science can and should play in public policy. From 1993 - 1994
I was a staffer in the office of (now former) Representative Phil Sharp
(D-IN). While on the Hill, I followed environmental, judicial and
healthcare issues. I studied chemistry in university, getting a B.S. at
U Mass-Dartmouth and an M.S. at Iowa State University; at ISU I managed
a project to communicate science to the public. I also did research at
the Ames Laboratory of the Department of Energy and at the U.S. Naval
Underwater Systems Center. I'll be back at 11 am EST (8 am PST, 4 pm
UTC) to answer your questions, ask me anything!%
