Ep 29: Financing Science and Innovation


Listen Later

I talked to Ben Reinhardt about new models for funding science and innovation. Ben's pieces on DARPA and his proposal for a private DARPA-like research funding organization are foundational pieces in the field and should be read by anyone who wants to understand them. We talked about:


  • The Big Man Theory of History
  • What makes good DARPA program managers?

  • Does science have an introspection problem?
  • Will the US maintain its leading position in science
  • Highly recommended!
