AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellowships

AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellowships

I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the interviews of some of the the candidates for these fellowships last week. I was pleased to see so many highly trained and skilled people seeking to make international development their careers, or at least a significant part of their careers.

I was humbled to discover that if I had tried for the post-doc fellowship at the point in my career at which it would have been appropriate, I probably would not have made the cut against the kind of competition that now exists. I was greatly pleased by the discovery.
