I am thrilled to share that I have been appointed to the board of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS). It is an incredible honor to have the opportunity to contribute to the vital work of this important organization, particularly during a time when science and technology are progressing at an unprecedented pace.

FAS has long been at the forefront of formulating policies that support research and guide emerging domains, such as AI, to ensure they benefit society as a whole. The organization's commitment to building connections between scientists and policymakers is crucial in addressing the complex challenges we face today.

Moreover, FAS recognizes the importance of technology and innovation in solving future challenges. By providing insight to industry, bridging connections across sectors, and pushing for government innovation at all levels, FAS is laying the groundwork for a brighter, more sustainable future.

What excites me most about joining the FAS board is the people behind the organization. The passion, expertise, and dedication of the FAS team are truly inspiring, and I am eager to work alongside them to advance the organization's mission at this transformative moment in history.
