George Bush appoints President Brown to Council of Advisors
Boston University President Robert A. Brown is appointed by President George W. Bush to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (2006–2008). Bush reestablished the council in 2001 in an effort to maintain a steady stream of expert advice from the private sector and the academic community on a wide range of scientific and technical matters.
“It is an honor to be selected to advise the government in setting priorities in science and technology for the future of the country,” says Brown. “I view the continued development of our scientific capabilities, through education and new research, as critical to our nation’s standard of living and our economic future”—Robert A. Brown
