AAAS: White House science adviser welcomes more agile research agencies with ‘big bold goals’. Really!

Looks like today, I am preoccupied with some of the staff of the senile and demented 46th President and his largely incompetent administration with its as many as possible firsts and implicit gender quota!

Here is another featured person of this administration! She seems similarly unaccomplished like one I just blogged about here. This one has been praised by the American Association for the Advancement of Science!

Let's hope she is not a fetishist like Sam Brinton! This would be a relieve!

"Arati Prabhakar has been part of the U.S. research establishment for 3 decades. Now, the 64-year-old applied physicist stands at its epicenter, as science adviser to President Joe Biden and director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. ..."

To model research after the DARPA is scarcely a new idea! Has been discussed and tried for at least 4 or more decades!!!

"... One of the best ways to achieve that goal, she believes, is through the government’s growing stable of small and agile research agencies modeled after the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), known for laying the foundation for the internet and GPS. (Prabhakar led DARPA from 2012 to 2017, after directing the National Institute of Standards and Technology from 1993 to 1997 and working as a venture capitalist in Silicon Valley.) ..."
