Description

On this edition of Fed Gov Today, presented by the Arthur S. Flemming Awards, we explore transformative efforts in public service that are making a global impact. First, Blair Pasalic, Director of Planning and Administration in the Office of Resource Sustainability at the Department of Energy, shares the remarkable logistics behind delivering over 900 pieces of electrical equipment to Ukraine, supporting the country’s critical infrastructure in its defense against Russia. Dr. Katherine Newcomer, a Commissioner for the Flemming Awards and leader at George Washington University, highlights the awards’ 75th anniversary. She reflects on the legacy of Arthur S. Flemming, whose dedication to public service and social equity continues to inspire today’s federal leaders. Shannon Griffin, a biologist at the EPA and recipient of a Flemming Award in the Basic Science category, discusses her innovative, non-invasive saliva-based method for tracking waterborne pathogens, a technique that played a pivotal role in understanding COVID-19 spread. Catch more about each of these leaders and the stories behind their achievements on today's show page at fedgovtoday.com.
