“Day One Conversations” are virtual discussions to showcase ready-for-action policy proposals. Day One proposal authors share their science and technology policy idea with a veteran policymaker and engage in a meaningful discussion about the policymaking process.
Technology Policy Accelerator Showcase
The Day One Project concluded its Technology Policy Accelerator with a showcase that featured comments on the state of U.S. federal science & technology policy from Quentin Palfrey, Acting General Counsel of the Department of Commerce, and Cori Zarek, former Deputy Chief Technology Officer.
