On Tuesday, Oct. 4, John H. Marburger III, science adviser to the President and director of the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy, addressed a crowded auditorium full of LSU faculty, staff and students in the Rotunda Auditorium of LSU’s Energy, Coast and Environment Building.
Marburger’s appearance was part of the Chancellor’s Distinguished Lectureship Series. His presentation, titled “Science and Technology Policy in the Real World,” addressed the federal government’s role in funding and support for science and technology, as well as how funding decisions are made.
