Testimony To House Science Committee
On February 14, 2013, Kathryn McKinley on behalf of Microsoft testified along with Ed Lazowska
(UW) and Kelly Gaither (Texas Advanced Computing Center) to the House
Science Committee's Subcommittee on Research and Science Education on
the topic of innovation in information technology. Her testimony
focused
on (1) the academic, industry, and government ecosystem that is
driving innovations in the IT sector; (2) the need for
investment in key research areas such as big data, privacy, secure
systems and computing performance; and (3) increasing
diversity to meet computing workforce needs and drive innovation.
