2000s
Gwen Gross (Ph.D. 2004): As a new Senior Technical Fellow for the Boeing Co., I had the opportunity to testify at both the Senate Environmental and Regulatory sub-Committee and the full House Science Committee hearings on the challenges of new chemical introduction and chemical obsolescence within the current EPA process when coming from a highly regulated industry like aerospace where the R&D time lines can be very long due to those certification and regulatory specifications. A recording is posted at congress.gov. (Dr. Gross's testimony begins at 35:12.) (added February 6, 2026)
