As a member of the Optical Society of America's Public Policy Committee,
I have participated in a variety of efforts aimed at improving science
and math education and literacy and ensuring our nation's global
technological leadership. These have included several congressional
educational events such as moderating the
Senate Science and Technology Caucus on
Solid State Lighting and
a
Congressional Briefing on Solar Energy. To learn more about the Optical Society of
America's public policy efforts, I invite you to visit their
website. |

| I'm also involved in science education
outreach programs, such as the
American Education
Week's Teach-In. As a member of the scientific community, I believe one
of our key responsibilities is promoting the importance of math and
science for the future of today's students and our nation as a whole. |
