About Episode 93

While humanity extends its reach further into space, our workforce must reflect all the people on Earth and the values to which we aspire.”*  From industry and commercial to government and national laboratories, the space sector has a problem.  Growing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the sector will ensure the future of a space workforce that encompasses the talent, innovation, and resilience needed to stay competitive.  Join Colleen Stover from The Center for Space Policy & Strategy as she talks to Neela Rajendra, Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Aili Kujawa, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at John’s Hopkins Applied Physics Lab (JHU/APL), and Via Van Liew from The Aerospace Corporation.
