Subra Suresh, director of the National Science Foundation, will speak on "Nurturing Scientific Research and Education in a Rapidly Globalizing Environment" at the Haskins Lecture on Science Policy at the RAND Corporation. As director of this $7 billion independent federal agency, Suresh leads the only government science agency charged with advancing all fields of fundamental science and engineering research and related education. NSF's programs and initiatives keep the United States at the forefront of science and engineering, empower future generations of scientists and engineers, and foster economic growth and innovation.
