Science Takes Center Stage in the Biden Administration
The number of changes being implemented by the new administration in the White House are likely too many to count. And while many are significant, one strikes a chord with the scientific community in a very meaningful way. In the days leading up to his inauguration, President Biden made it clear that science is a priority. He has backed that up with several recent announcements.
First, President Biden named Eric Lander, PhD, the founding director of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, to the position of White House Science Advisor and will serve as the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). In addition, President Biden is designating the Presidential Science Advisor as a member of the Cabinet for the first time in history.
U.S. President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Friday announced his White House science team, describing it as a deeply respected group of diverse and eminently qualified scientists who will marshal the force of science to drive meaningful progress in the lives of people.
The new team is expected to “help the Biden-Harris administration confront some of the biggest crises and challenges of our time, from climate change and the impact of technology on society to pandemics, racial inequity and the current historic economic downturn,” the transition team said.
