Space Policy Edition: JPL Director wants "every brain" to have the chance to work in space exploration

from Planetary Radio · host The Planetary Society

After the delay of the Psyche mission, an independent review board faulted management and workforce problems at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory as one of the causes. This month we feature the JPL Director, Dr. Laurie Leshin, to discuss what the lab is doing in response to these critiques, how NASA can compete with the private sector for top talent, and why our society needs to improve the diversity of its workforce to ensure every brain possible can work in space exploration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
