Yesterday, we spoke to Tom Pickering, former undersecretary of State and a co- chair of the Committee on Science and Technology Capabilities at the Department of State. The other co-chair, Princeton microbiology professor Adel Mahmoud, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive for a closer look at the science side of diplomacy.
