This Web article is an interview with Thomas Kalil, who is currently the Special Assistant to the Chancellor for Science and Technology at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). From 1992 to 2000, Kalil was a science and technology adviser in the Clinton administration. The interview covers his life as a White House staffer, and his accomplishments during that period; the interplay between politics, policy, technology, and science; and the challenges facing university research communities. Kalil's work at the White House included the liberalization of Cold War export controls on computers, the National Nanotechnology Initiative, and obtaining increased funding for research and development. At UC Berkeley, he helps develop new research and education initiatives that cut across multiple departments. Kalil makes several observations in this interview, one of which is that scientists and engineers generally do a bad job of explaining the importance of their research. We need civic scientists, engineers, and high-tech leaders who are willing to help establish a forward-looking public policy agenda. With the exception of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), university leaders have not established long-term relationships with White House staff, and fixing this will require a real commitment at the university president level. Kalil also discusses a number of specific technology issues. Online Computing Reviews Service
