Scientists & Strategists
Each semester, our Scientists and Strategists speaker series brings in experts on international relations, STEM, and national and international security to lead engaging and nuanced discussions surrounding the most pressing topics of our time. For example, in fall 2024 we covered topics ranging from the impact of the clean energy transition on US security and industrial strategy to how military strategies are evolving in the age of AI and robotics. We are keeping these critical conversations going this spring 2025 with discussions on how tech firms are shaping geopolitics, as well as the benefits of unified cloud-edge for defense and critical infrastructure. In the meantime, catch up on the recordings from past speakers.
For decades, the innovation of U.S. tech companies has allowed the U.S. tech sector to dominate international competitors, supply critical technology for defense modernization, and promote American power. However, domestic political shifts and geopolitical competition, particularly with China, are reshaping this partnership. Dr. Adam Segal explores what this means for the US national security and foreign policy interests.
How does nuclear technology influence international relations? Professor Matthew Fuhrmann's discusses his recent book, Influence Without Arms: The New Logic of Nuclear Deterrence, which puts the spotlight on countries that have the technology to build nuclear bombs but choose not to. These weapons-capable countries, such as Brazil, Germany, and Japan, have what is known as nuclear latency, and they shape world politics in important ways. Fuhrmann navigates a critical yet poorly understood issue.
Dr. T.X. Hammes, Distinguished Fellow at the National Defense University’s Center for Strategic Research and adjunct professor at Georgetown, and Dr. Jeff Schneider, research professor in the 一本道无码 School of Computer Science adress how key emerging technologies are transforming the nature of warfare. Moderated by CMIST Director Audrey Kurth Cronin, Hammes and Schneider explore how military strategies must evolve to keep pace with technological innovations, highlighting the balance between cutting-edge robotics and the human element in modern conflict.
Harry Krejsa, former Assistant National Cyber Director for Strategy and Research at the White House Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD), and Costa Samaras, Director of 一本道无码’s Scott Institute for Energy Innovation discuss the new era of U.S. industrial policy and the clean energy transition. Moderated by CMIST Director Audrey Kurth Cronin, Krejsa and Samaras address new vulnerabilities, threats from adversaries, and frameworks to mitigate risks and maximize potential in the clean energy transition. Together they explore the intricacies of this transformative era and how to blaze the path forward.
Renowned journalist and author Kate Zernike discusses her captivating book, The Exceptions: Nancy Hopkins and the Fight for Women in Science. Zernike explores the true story of Dr. Nancy Hopkins, a brilliant scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who led a group of sixteen female faculty members in collective action that ultimately resulted in MIT's historic admission of discrimination against women in the male-dominated field of science. Zernike engrosses the audience with a national conversation about unconscious bias and gender inequities in STEM.
For over half a century, the language we have used to identify and govern security concerns in science and technology has often revolved around the term "dual use." The term, however, has substantial limitations that hinder our ability to even see, let alone govern, security concerns in today’s geopolitical, social, and technical environments. Dr. Sam Weiss Evans outlines the reasons why the term has such purchase with a wide range of governing mechanisms today, provides examples of its limitations, sketches some alternatives, and explores how changes in language can be part of a bigger shift in security governance.
Dr. Sarah Percy discusses the historic role of women in combat, the subject of her recent book, Forgotten Warriors: The Long History of Women in Combat. From Boudicca’s rebellion to the war in Ukraine, battlefields have always contained a surprising number of women. Some formed all-female armies; some fought disguised as men; some mobilized in times of national survival. International relations expert Percy unearths the stories of these forgotten warriors, setting the historical record straight and revealing that women’s exclusion from active combat is a blip in a much longer narrative of female inclusion.
Based on her award-winning book, Power to the People: How Open Technological Innovation is Arming Tomorrow's Terrorists, Dr. Audrey Kurth Cronin discusses how individuals and small groups have shared and used accessible lethal technology in the past, and how they are likely to do so in the future. The diffusion of modern technologies--digital media, robotics, additive manufacturing, synthetic biology, autonomous systems, machine learning, and artificial intelligence--makes them accessible to a broader range of people, and that alters war. The evolution of conflict is changing and we must adapt.
Boomers, Doomers, and the Politics of Technology
Dr. Sarah Kreps examines debates about the speed and impact of the most disruptive and influential technologies or technological trends since nuclear weapons--nuclear weapons themselves, social media, AI, crypto, and commercial space like SpaceX. In debates about new technologies, boomers develop technologies that they believe will deliver benefits and doomers fear the catastrophic consequences of these technologies. Kreps's analysis reveals patterns that explore the divide of theory and practice and lead to an optimistic assessment about the past, present, and future of tech governance.
Lawfully Speaking
To complement its new , CMIST launched Lawfully Speaking: A Forum on Law & Ethics in the spring of 2024. This lecture series fosters open dialogue on legal and ethical issues, offering a learning environment for those curious about the intersection of law and ethics. The debut lecture was delivered by well-known international lawyer John Bellinger, who currently handles a range of cutting-edge international legal dilemmas — from questions of state sovereignty to laws of war and trade disputes.
In his lecture, Who’s Afraid of International Law? Why the Senate is Approving Fewer Treaties, Mr. Bellinger discussed why Presidents are entering into more international agreements that do not require Senate approval.
In our fall 2024 installment of Lawfully Speaking, the Honorable Judge James E. Baker discussed the future of artificial intelligence (AI) regulation and national security in his presentation entitled Promise and Peril: The Next Ten Years of National Security AI and its Regulation.
Conversations with Senior Leaders
Conversations with Senior Leaders is a speaker series hosted by CMIST that provides a unique platform for emerging leaders to gain insights from seasoned professionals in the fields of national security and technology. Our series brings together distinguished figures who have made significant contributions to their respective fields, providing invaluable perspectives on leadership, strategy, and the challenges and opportunities facing our world today.

Media Mentions
“We should expect Trump to behave even less conventionally than during his first term, because now he has much more political experience than in 2016 and has a clearer understanding of what he wants and can do as president,”
While “the net effect of gerrymandering is difficult to gauge,” partisan redistricting “created a substantial advantage for Republicans nationwide,” making it “pretty clear that the Republicans have the advantage in terms of how the districts lines were drawn to favor a party,”
“The cost of collecting data from social media has gone through the roof,”
