Cherry A. Murray, Ph.D, will deliver the keynote address, “The Role of Science and Engineering in U.S. Competitiveness.” Murray was part of a panel charged with recommending actions policy makers should take to enhance the science and technology enterprise so the United States could compete, prosper and be secure in the global community of the 21st century. The result of that work is the report “Rising Above the Gathering Storm.” In her keynote address, Murray will discuss the findings as well as the response to them that is shaping tomorrow’s science, engineering and technology policy.
