Beyond the Price at the Pump: A Comprehensive Energy Security Roadmap

American physicist Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D., has been president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute since 1999. Described by Time magazine as “perhaps the ultimate role model for women in science,” President Jackson has held senior leadership positions in government, industry, research and academia. She will discuss the current energy crisis and the fight to keep the U.S. competitive in the global research environment by engaging more American students from diverse backgrounds in science and technology careers.
