This message emphasizes the capacity of child and adolescent psychiatrists to reach beyond clinical silos and identify partnerships across a variety of disciplines to improve child mental health. This commentary summarizes concrete opportunities for child and adolescent psychiatrists and trainees to advocate for social media safety that protects the rights of racially minoritized children and adolescents by aligning with the presidential initiative.

US national expert advisory bodies related to science, technology, and innovation (STI) policy have a wide range of missions, governing structures, operational practices, cultures, and impact on federal policymaking. This paper offers an analytical framework for assessing the autonomy, function, and influence of of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), a federal advisory committee consisting of 30 elite scientists, engineers, and industry leaders appointed by and advising the president. We demonstrate that PCAST carries both a strong instrumental advisory role, providing substantive advice to White House STI policy development, and a significant symbolic advisory role, offering visible public support to presidential decisions and initiatives related to STI.
