How POST works
A Parliamentary Board guides POST's choice of subjects. Our team of highly qualified advisers conduct analyses, drawing on a wide range of external expertise. All reports and POSTnotes are externally peer reviewed, and scrutinised by the Board before publication.
POST's work falls into four areas. Recent themes include:
Biological Sciences and Health
Human genetics
Reproductive technologies
Public health
Physical Sciences, IT and Communications
Digital convergence
