On a personal note, I have known and admired Dava for several decades. Her talents and skills as an educator and technological innovator will bring a new energy to our NASA leadership team, and I’m ecstatic to have her on board.”

    I hope they choose to make her the public face of NASA. As a prof, researcher, and admired teacher she will make an excellent communicator in public fora. Here’s hoping her fellow professor, one Barack Obama, accepts and acts upon her advice.

    I always find the job descriptions like these funny. Since she teaches leadership at MIT, she may be appointed to teach Mr. Bolden how to lead.
