Dr. Matheny shed light on how IARPA selects cutting-edge research projects and how its work helps ensure intelligence guides sound decision- and policymaking.  He also offers his advice to young scientists just starting their careers. Listen to a fascinating conversation with the leader of one of the coolest research organizations in the U.S. government, and follow IARPA on Twitter @IARPANews. 1a464993-f943-42bf-b5e9-434b46226b84 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2012-16%20Saunders2.mp3 b5b35740-59cc-4c20-a350-1b67d2e99493 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2012-14%20Fuhrmann%20podcast.mp3 ff3646d2-f55d-4ec1-919d-9858602292aa Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2012-01%20Jaffer%20podcast.mp3 9d7d57c3-2bfa-4974-bb1f-ca8c7d25f74d Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2011-22%20Cooper%20and%20Weber.mp3 03b28161-3e13-4a93-8b06-1d6eb46e86ee Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2011-07%20Brooks.mp3 I was lucky enough to speak with Rosa Brooks about her recent book, How Everything Became War and the Military Became Everything: Tales From the Pentagon. Rosa is law professor at Georgetown University, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, and a fellow columnist for Foreign Policy. We talk about her unique and compelling experiences at the Pentagon, where she served as a counselor to the undersecretary of defense for policy. Rosa also shares her thoughts on the role of retired military officers in election politics, and the difficulties (or lack thereof) in addressing the most pressing challenges to U.S. national security policy and law. She also gives some important advice for young policy professionals starting their careers. Listen to my conversation with the brilliant and insightful Rosa Brooks, check out her new book (if you haven’t already) and follow Rosa on Twitter @brooks_rosa. 56b9fc0b-45ad-4f15-9c86-726e403c2f3c Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2010-31%20Kay%20Cohen.mp3 38c3b191-f71d-4321-9287-afc54961dbdb Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2010-25%20Feaver.mp3 da7ea911-2ec1-4e72-baae-58f9983694ec Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2010-18%20Cohen%20podcast.mp3 f1c02ca8-a562-4a73-96ef-38b255ffb93f Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2009-06%20Rohlf%20podcast%20%281%29.mp3 0e65a124-f350-44f6-8016-028799086030 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2008-22%20Schake%20podcast%20interview.mp3 85f24e8f-fcfd-481a-9bb1-1f78b3b10075 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2007-13%20Greenberg%20podcast_0.mp3 81a95668-bbe8-4446-8916-b709a6f5abb2 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2006-21%20TS%20Podcast.mp3 80105a0e-611e-4d51-8b62-c56f321e9535 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2005-17%20Shifrinson%20Podcast.mp3 454605e0-e2b1-4275-86ae-a0a0e3fa5f87 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2005-09%20Anxious%20Politics%20Podcast.mp3 adc0e382-4030-458a-add9-3e0244d8e259 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2004-26%20Elmira%20Bayrasli%20Pocast_0.mp3 c9fa0461-7bb1-4b0e-a2f4-7d02db6ff007 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2004-21%20Jennifer%20Harris%20Audacity.mp3 7f47ed56-3839-4c51-8f10-ea6c04925a43 Power, Politics, and Preventive Action https://cfr-org-prod-media-files.s3.amazonaws.com/audio-files/2016%2003-29%20Podcast%20with%20Liz%20Saunders%20-%203-29-16%20-%20final.mp3 5c8aaff2-7d8d-4ced-9218-3e4842945c8e Power, Politics, and Preventive Action
