How NASA Got a ‘ UFO Czar ’ —And Why it Matters
The real czars may be long gone, but for decades, the White House has been doing a good job of keeping the role—or at least the honorific—alive, appointing a director to oversee a particular task or issue, and bestowing the title along with it.

Eight years since then, the U.S. health care system remains futile in its attempt to overturn the sluggish pace of widespread adoption of these technologies.
Why is that? The answer is simple: it ’s the money. The money needed for understanding our genome and our cells at molecular level. The money to use new technologies to achieve precision health and… (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care:Pharmaceuticals headlines)
