A CIRES team, lecture series about policy, politics, and science

Bobbie Klein, Ami Nacu-Schmidt, and Linda Pendergrass performed an outstanding service to CIRES, the broader University community, and the general public by conceiving of and successfully implementing the heralded public lecture series "Policy, Politics, and Science in the White House: Conversations with Presidential Science Advisors." This public lecture series consisted of visits from the current and former White House Science Advisors and one former House Science Committee Chief of Staff. The lectures provided a venue for frank exchanges on the role of science advice and science policy in the United States, and a myriad of topics close to the Boulder scientific community. Together, they put together and oversee a highly successful, well-recognized effort of CIRES that showcases the commitment of CIRES and the University of Colorado to dialogue and research on the science policy questions of our time.
