I
want to take the time to welcome aboard our new Deputy Administrator Dr. Dava
Newman to the NASA family. Dr. Newman took her Oath of Office a couple weeks
ago and her first day was on May 18, 2015.
This
is going to be an exciting ride for Dr. Newman. She received her PhD in
Aerospace Biomedical Engineering from MIT. One of her well-known accomplishments is her design of the
BioSuit which is a form fitting space suit that replaces gas pressure with
mechanical pressure using metal coils. With cutting-edge technology providing
the fundamental tools in order to take human to deep space, leadership
progression at NASA goes hand-in-hand as we continue to move forward into the
universe.
Again,
welcome Dr. Newman, we all look forward to working with you!
Did
I mention this is the best place to work in the Federal government?
