Proud to help launch the Maryland Transfer Promise at this year’s Maryland Higher Education Summit.
Every community college student in MD should have a clear, affordable, and barrier-free path to a 4-year degree. This is how we build mobility—and dignity.

Grateful to @theNASciences for inviting me to speak on a panel about the future of the U.S. research enterprise.
We discussed how to:
• Fix a fragmented system
• Train talent at the pace of tech
• Rebuild trust in science
These questions are urgent. This dialogue was a real step forward.
