U.S. presidents are rarely elected with formal scientific training. So how do they obtain the expertise needed to make informed decisions on complex issues with global consequences? And how does the scientific community ensure that urgent concerns and emerging priorities reach the highest levels of government?

Since FDR, most presidents have assembled delegations to advise on matters involving science, technology, education, and innovation policy, and to provide the scientific and technical information needed to inform public policy relating to a wide range of topics. In 2021, President Biden re-established the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) and appointed Caltech’s John O. Dabiri (MS '03, PhD '05), the Centennial Professor of Aeronautics and Mechanical Engineering, to serve as one of his advisors. Join us for lunch and hear from Professor Dabiri on his time serving on PCAST.
