Defense Writers Group
January 13, 2022
Moderator: Thank you all so much for joining us. I’m Thom Shanker, the Director of the Project for Media and National Security. Welcome to this Defense Writers Group. We have a terrific guest today, Heidi Shyu who’s the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, and by the number of people who signed up I can tell there’s great interest in the topic. We have a strong turnout in this COVID-safe session.
As always, this discussion is on the record, but no rebroadcast of audio or video is allowed per our standing rules. I’ll open with the first question and then open the floor, reserving the final minutes for Ms. Shyu to give us a comment. Ms. Shyu, welcome. Thank you so much for joining us today.
Shyu: Happy to be here.
