The Triple Helix Budget
FY2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014)
The Triple Helix is the undergraduate journal of science, society, and law at Carnegie Mellon. Primarily through the venue of written expression, our goal is to promote the understanding of the impact of science and technology on society and their interaction with the law. We publish one issue per semester and electronic articles on a regular basis.
