Karma: 1,244

I lead a small think tank dedicated to accelerating the pace of scientific advancement by improving the conditions of science funding. As well, I’m a senior advisor to the Social Science Research Council. Prior to these roles, I spent some 9 years at Arnold Ventures (formerly the Laura and John Arnold Foundation) as VP of Research.
