President Obama and John Holdren

"It was a privilege to work with President Obama" - Ep. 6

Dec. 14, 2017

Last month we kicked off the first Dean's Speaker Series with John Holdren, President Obama's science and technology advisor for eight years. As part of the speaker series, we also celebrated 15 years since the founding of Engineers Without Borders here at CU, which is now a worldwide organization with tens of thousands of members. For this On CUE podcast, I got the opportunity to sit down and chat with Dr. Holdren about that, as well as the past, present and future of science and technology policy. I hope you enjoy it.
