ONR Distinguished Lecture Featuring Dr. Alan Leshner, March 12 2:00-3:00
pm "The Evolving Climate for Science and Engineering"
On Monday March 12, the Office of Naval Research is pleased to host AAAS
CEO Dr. Alan Leshner as the next speaker in the Director of Innovation's
ONR Distinguished Lecture Series.
The lecture will be held at the Office of Naval Research (at 875 N.
Randolph St, Arlington, VA 22203) in the MIC conference room on the 14th
floor from 2:00-3:00 PM, with a brief reception to follow.
Dr. Leshner's talk is entitled "The Evolving Climate for Science and
Engineering." In his positions as CEO of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, publisher of SCIENCE magazine, and member of
the US National Science Board, Dr. Leshner has a uniquely broad
perspective on the US Science, Technology and Innovation enterprise. Dr.
Leshner will draw from his current roles as well as his long experience
as a university researcher and then scientific administrator in various
Federal agencies, to explore the challenges and opportunities government
agencies and their academic and public sector partners currently face in
Science and Engineering. What are the impacts of strengthening
international competition, budget pressures, a domestic crisis in STEM
education, and other issues? What is the role of national policy and how
might we better coordinate our efforts at the Federal level while
preserving a core strength derived from individually guided, discovery
based
research? Please join us for an important conversation about the future
of Federal ST&I with this significant public policy thought leader.
