February 21, 2023 ‘OPM sent a signal’: Still no final regulations on 2017 administrative leave law
After six years, agencies are still missing the final regulations they need to make significant changes to federal administrative leave policy. Congress gave the Office of Personnel Management 270 days to implement new federal leave regulations under the Administrative Leave Act, a provision included in the fiscal 2017 National Defense Authorization Act. But OPM has missed that deadline by far — at least for some of the more complicated changes to the leave policy.

February 17, 2023 Stopping aviation explosions through science, with the Chemistry Branch Manager at the Transportation Security Laboratory
Airport security screening is in large measure a function of detection of objects and materials. A recurring challenge comes from non-commercial explosives -- dangerous substances cooked up by criminals for unknown reasons. Before developing technology to detect these substances, the Transportation Security Laboratory, part of the Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate, must reproduce them in a safe way. That is one of the jobs that falls to the Applied Research Division (ARD). In the fourth and final interview of his series, on location at the lab near Atlantic City, Federal Drive host Tom Temin spoke with the ARD's Chemistry Branch Manager, Dr. John Brady.
