The Great Beyond: MIT's Subra Suresh tapped to lead National Science Foundation

Excerpt: "Subra Suresh, the dean of the engineering school at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, has been tapped by the White House to lead the $7 billion National Science Foundation." PS: Hal Abelson, a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at MIT, told me that "as the leader of the School of Engineering, [Suresh] was a strong supporter of the MIT policy." (Thanks to Hal for permission to quote his comment.)
