Meet John Gawalt, Director of the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics

摘要

What about this position appealed to you? I love statistics and I love science. Where else would I be content than in a statistical office within the National Science Foundation? I began my federal career as a summer student at USDA [U.S. Department of Agriculture] in the Economic Research Service and moved to the Consumer and Producer Price Programs at the Bureau of Labor Statistics before coming to NCSES. I believe federal service to be an honorable profession-I have known and worked with many dedicated, caring, and talented people. NCSES has provided me a variety of challenging opportunities these past 20 years, so why not give something back?
