The Future of American Scientific Research in an Era of Political and Geopolitical Conflict

Please join us for a conversation about how recent changes to federal research policy, including new prohibitions on foreign collaborations, have tested the longstanding partnership between the federal government and America’s research universities, and what this transformation implies for future funding and organization of science in America. The expert discussion will be moderated by Visiting Professor of Law Mark Barnes and will feature:

Dr. Michael S. Lauer, former deputy director for extramural research at the National Institutes of Health;Dr. Jeremy M. Berg, former editor-in-chief of Science and founding director of the Institute for Personalized Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh;Kate Hudson, deputy vice president and counsel for government relations and public policy at the Association of American Universities; andKristin West, director of research ethics and compliance at the Council on Governmental Relations.Space is limited. RSVP required. There will be a wait list if demand is high. Non-pizza lunch will be provided.
