The professor in government: an interview with Robert Morse
DOI: 10.1063/1.3048187
Not by coincidence is Robert W. Morse both Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research and Development and President of the Acoustical Society of America. Morse, a former physics professor and dean, has enjoyed a long association with the Navy, first as a sailor and later as an underwater‐sound expert. We interviewed him recently to learn about two aspects of his job: its impact on his professional goals and what it has taught him about science‐government relations.
