Why I joined the TechCongress Team: Jamie Sternlicht
With my last company, there were times where government helped and times where government hindered our ability to innovate. It wasn’t surprising to me when earlier this month The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine released a report saying that overly risk averse FAA regulations are stifling innovation in the drone industry.
Why I joined the TechCongress Team: Katherine Pratt
Katherine is an MIT-educated aerospace engineer. She served for four years as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, primarily as an engineer working on operational readiness of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. As a PhD student in electrical engineering, Pratt is currently studying the security, ethics, and policy of brain computer interfaces.
