US-CERT: Vulnerability Summary for the Week of May 14, 2018
My job for the National Science Foundation revolves around "spectrum management". This involves working with other federal agencies, the private sector, and international partners to bring order to how radio frequencies are used and where, and keep spectrum available for science.
We just completed a UN agency meeting focusing on radio astronomy in Geneva. And our new head of delegation, Dr. Ashley Zauderer, did an absolutely fantastic job.
This stuff is in good hands.
