I expect DOE will be sharing a press release shortly, but I& #39;ve just been sworn in officially and I know many of you have now heard the good news, so it& #39;s time for twitter to hear it from me!
I& #39;m honored that the Biden-Harris administration has called me to serve as part of @GovNuclear during a crucial time in humanity& #39;s endeavors toward sustainability, re-imagination of our energy infrastructure, and centering of environmental & energy justice in technology policy.
Taking an extended, unpaid leave of absence from my beloved faculty job ( @illinoisNPRE @uofigrainger) was a big decision, but I had lots of support! I& #39;m particularly grateful to @gonuke, @munkium, @deniadjokic, my husband, family ( @Harold_Huff), colleagues, friends, and students.
In this position, I hope to work across institutional and other barriers, listen to many voices, strive boldly, and serve responsibly.
To kick it all off, I hope to learn more of what you can teach me! So, #nuclear and #energytwitter, I have three questions for you:
To kick it all off, I hope to learn more of what you can teach me! So, #nuclear and #energytwitter, I have three questions for you:
(1) Lots of great organizations & people have recently published recommendations for nuclear & energy policy. Is there anything in particular you think I should read, hear, or watch?
(2) What, specifically, would YOU like to see (or not see!) from @GovNuclear this year?
(3) In these next years, you can rely on me to listen to your voices while I try to do the best job I possibly can. Can I rely on you to keep openly sharing your ideas, expertise, wisdom, questions, challenges, hopes, and especially your constructive criticisms with me?
Thanks for reading.
Now, it& #39;s time for me get to work with the great folks @GovNuclear in @Energy!
