Commitment to Responsible Innovation, Technology, and Research
Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity
As a part of one of my initiatives and in the lead up to my dissertation, I welcome you to responsible innovation and research.
I am committed to advancing responsible innovation and technology diversity, awareness, education, inclusion, and training. With over twenty years of public health and U.S. government emergency preparedness, public health, technology, and countering weapons of mass destruction, our mission is to reshape the way we think about convergent technology by providing comprehensive training resources and advocating for ethical practices and legal standards.
We aim to educate scientists, policymakers, and practitioners, fostering a knowledgeable community dedicated to enhancing technology and safety. Especially among those that may not have general access to those resources.
