My portfolio is really broad, so there's no typical day. I might be having a meeting about bringing pandas back to the zoo in Washington DC, or discussing how to dispose of the Smithsonian's collection of human remains in an ethical way. Or talking about the budget - it's always the budget.
Speaking of priorities, over the past few years, I've been working on the Our Shared Future: Life on a Sustainable Planet research initiative, which we announced at the United Nations climate conference COP 27 two years ago. What's amazing is the amount of science we were already doing along those lines.
