Doug has been a wonderful program officer. Always responsive, helpful, insightful. This is a big loss for NSF and for the Country. 🧪⚒️
Doug was a NSF program officer for a few of my projects before stepping into his role below. His loss is an example of the many negative impacts. I speak often on the value of collaboration and cost sharing to get the most bang for our buck. Losses like Doug’s work affect everyone in the U.S. 🧪

Here, we see that Generative AI is gaining traction in some higher education circles, but there’s a growing “AI divide” & ethical dialogue & secure protocols will likely develop in various ways to address these emerging issues. Good food for thought.
