The transition website now lists all of the agency review teams currently in place.  These are the people who would review the relevant issues for each of the agencies under their purview and the potential appointees for positions in those agencies.  Readers are likely to be most interested in the Energy and Natural Resources; Department of Health and Human Services; and Science, Tech, Space, and Arts teams.  Each team is broken down into groups for specific agencies.  Note that these are not the groups that will be appointed to these agencies, but the people that will help prepare those appointees to be confirmed and to hit the ground running once they are confirmed.  This may explain the prevalence of lawyers and business professionals in some of these teams.  The general pattern of the transition so far has been to fill White House positions first (Secretary of State speculation aside), so I do not expect Cabinet or other agency head selections just yet.

I do note that none of the campaign science advisers noted earlier this year aren’t mentioned in the transition teams for the relevant agencies.  Presumably this will keep them in play for appointments to government positions (though I still wonder if Dr. Varmus will be willing to return to federal service after tenure as the head of NIH).
