CRA is pleased to announce that Brian Mosley has joined its staff starting today as Policy Analyst. In this position, Brian will track a number of issues of importance to the computing community, including Robotics R&D, STEM Education issues, and policies surrounding Open Access and Open Data efforts at the Federal level.

Brian comes to CRA with over seven years experience in government affairs in technology & innovation policy, science and energy research, and STEM education with the Washington Office of the American Physical Society and in Congress.
