The Energy Department on Tuesday announced 21 members of a newly established science advisory committee.
The Office of Science Advisory Committee “will provide independent advice on complex scientific and technical challenges across the Department’s Office of Science,” the department announced.
The 21 members of the committee were picked by DOE undersecretary for science, Darío Gil. They include representatives from academia, industry, philanthropy and the National Laboratories.
The advisory committee “will help the Office of Science adapt to a rapidly evolving research landscape and address interdisciplinary challenges in a streamlined and flexible manner,” DOE said Tuesday. “It will also provide advice on initiatives that are priorities for the entire Office, including the Genesis Mission, scientific discovery, fusion energy, and quantum science.”
