S02 E05: The Role of Tech in America's Defense by Speak Freely published on 2019-04-30T07:55:06Z On today’s episode, we’re talking to two veterans from the University of Washington and asking them the central question - what is the role of the U.S. tech community in America’s national defense? Our guests are Katherine Pratt and Nathan Lewis. Katherine is an Air Force vet and current PhD candidate studying computer brain interfaces here at UW’s electrical engineering program. She was also recently featured in a Marvel comic called Unstoppable Wasp. Make sure you check it out. Nathan Lewis is a former enlisted Marine and logistics officer with multiple tours overseas. Since coming to the UW Foster School of Business he’s been focused on operations and consulting. We definitely appreciated his perspective on defense tech given his exposure to large-scale software systems as a logistics officer--and we know you will appreciate it too! Genre News & Politics
