Jim McGann, director of the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program at the University of Pennsylvania, once thought technology would lead to the downfall of many think tanks. Now, he says, it’s apparent that technology is one of the most powerful tools available to research institutions.
“I thought … technology would be what would make many think tanks become extinct,” McGann said during an online launch event Feb. 25 for his new book “The Future of Think Tanks and Policy Advice in the United States.”
