I am working to build a more just Haitian society and to ensure that every Haitian woman can access the services she requires, based on her experience and needs.” Geeta Menon, Joint Secretary of the Domestic Workers Union and consultant to Global Fund for Women, is at the forefront of advocating for women's rights in India She works to address the intersections of caste focusing particularly on the nearly 50 million domestic workers who are often exploited and lack formal recognition “Our struggles are to achieve equality, end caste discrimination, and build a safer world for all women and children. The values of equality, fraternity, and justice guide us,” says Geeta Menon. Despite the contribution of domestic workers to the country they face significant challenges including lack of social security Most domestic workers in India make less than $150 a month; and 74% of them do not have access to medical care the Minimum Wage Act has been in place since 2004 but its implementation has been inconsistent advocates for reforms to ensure fair wages and improve working conditions “One notable public case is that of a 17-year-old trafficked from Jharkhand to Bangalore who faced severe abuse as a live-in domestic worker Her rescue in 2014 led to landmark guidelines on forced labor trafficking issued by the High Court The world we are building is towards change and freedom This can only be achieved if every worker is recognized and valued,” Geeta Menon emphasizes Greg Roberts and his Volti Audio horn-loaded loudspeakers have been a permanent fixture at Capital Audiofests years past Volti’s new Lucera High-Sensitivity Horn-Loaded Loudspeakers will be on active display in two rooms Here’s the scoop from Greg’s email: I’ll be officially introducing the new Volti Audio Lucera speaker at this show You’ll find them in two rooms – The Volti room 741 and the Belleson/Linear Tube Audio/Anticables room 655 There will also be a static display in the lobby of the hotel featuring a pair of the new Volti Audio Vittora speakers This will be the first time anyone has seen the redesign of our flagship speaker and I expect it will create quite a buzz at the show In brief, the Lucera house a 15″ woofer, a horn-loaded midrange compression driver, and a neodymium horn tweeter.

marks for complexity and scope effective and accurate flow of information among agencies and leadership is akin to food for an organism: without it the synthesis and relay of information takes on an additional urgency And throughout the body that is the National Security Council - the principal forum for national security and foreign policy decision-making - a sizeable group of AAAS Science & Technology Policy Fellowship alumni work to keep the taps of information running clear and smooth for the President Cabinet members and other decision-makers responsible for maintaining the nation’s security and readiness No fewer than six alumni serve on the NSC staff who was tapped by President Joe Biden to resume her leadership as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director of the newly reinstated Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense in January 2021 Cameron was an STPF fellow in Senator Edward M Kennedy’s office from 2000-2001 and the State Department Office of Proliferation Reduction from 2003-2004 “Some of the things we all tend to have in common is our ability to communicate with a wide range of audiences do the really tough job of reaching consensus across government agencies on different issues or outcomes that collaboratively advance our national security,” said Megan Frisk the Director for Biotechnology Risks and Biological Weapons Nonproliferation Frisk served as an Executive Branch Fellow in the Office of the Science and Technology Adviser to the Secretary of State from 2016-2018 The National Security Council’s diversity of coverage areas provide many niches where policy-oriented scientists can contribute but also more surprising arenas including space Frisk’s background in chemistry and biomedical engineering flowed naturally into her work at the State Department where she worked on foreign policy issues related to emerging biotechnologies like genome editing she had to think about science and technology in a slightly different light but the experience set her on her trajectory toward the NSC.  “Science and security aren’t often natural bedfellows,” Frisk said “Many scientists on the NSC have done research and know the immense benefits science has for energy But they can also think about how science can be misused or how there can be accidents and develop policies to mitigate against the different risks.” the Director for Countering Biological Threats and Global Health Security on the NSC (also with Cameron) was an Executive Branch Fellow in the Office of International Health and Biodefense at the State Department from 2017-2019 his experience with infectious and zoonotic diseases informed his foreign policy work at State related to infectious disease outbreaks abroad which gave him the opportunity to collaborate frequently with NSC staff Lucera says the role he and other Directors’ have is to pull agency stakeholders together identify a problem set or policy objective and empower agencies with the expertise to come up with options for how to develop and implement policies this concerns strengthening the global health security architecture to prevent outbreaks and improving global health governance and financing A significant proportion of Lucera’s work involves making sure senior leadership—the President and others—are well-equipped with the latest facts on his subject area Lucera said he sharpened the succinct communication skills required to perform that formidable task outside the lab: speaking at symposia taking advantage of science communications training opportunities and serving as a volunteer subject matter expert at the Outbreak exhibit at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History “You need to be able to explain how a virus you can’t see with your eye has an impact on national and economic security and you also need to translate how we can take specific actions to prevent the next crisis That’s a broad scope of issues that you must be able to communicate,” Lucera said Three other STPF alumni also serve on the NSC: Michelle Rozo the Director for Technology and National Security (2017-18 Congressional Science & Engineering Fellow and 2018-19 Executive Branch Fellow in the Biosecurity Engagement Program at State); Matthew Sharp who works in nuclear arms control (2009-10 Executive Branch Fellow in the Office of Multilateral Nuclear and Security Affairs at State); and Chris Cannizzaro (2008-10 Executive Branch Fellow in the Office of Space and Advanced Technology at State) Cannizzaro initially thought he’d return to a faculty position in biochemical engineering after his fellowship But he was captivated by global issues in nanotechnology and other emerging technologies as well as improving cooperation among international partners—on Earth as well as in space now Director for Critical Infrastructure Policy at the NSC to contribute to technical and policy discussions related to space environment hazards including critical infrastructure,” Cannizzaro said The word infrastructure is very much on the minds and agendas of many people—he referenced the recent Colonial Pipeline cyberattack the Florida condo building collapse tragedy and hurricane impacts—and that his office’s role is to consider how current and future architectures take into account threats both human-made as well as natural Cannizzaro echoed Lucera’s advice for policy fellows interested in pursuing careers at the upper levels of government: draw on your analytical basis of scientific thinking but also learn how to write and communicate with crystal clarity “Things can come up really quickly and need to be elevated rapidly even to the level of the President,” Cannizzaro said Our ability to provide a voice for scientists and engineers and to advance science depends on the support from individuals like you Give together we can be a united voice for scientific progress.  Join The collaboration integrates Lucera’s LumeFX suite within
