Why do policymakers struggle to support edge science? Today, we’re joined by Dr. Daniel “Rags” Ragsdale, former Assistant Director for Cyber in the Office of the Director of Defense Research and Engineering in the White House. With decades of experience in defense, research, and technology, Dr. Ragsdale brings a unique perspective to edge science and its potential role in national security. We’ll explore the groundbreaking RISE initiative, its efforts to bridge cutting-edge science with government policy, and how unconventional research could shape the future. From quantum sensing to the modern UFO phenomenon, we’re unpacking the urgent need for innovation in an era of global competition.
Join us as we get rebelliously curious.
