Obama to address the NAS

Barack Obama is scheduled to address the National Academy of Sciences’ 146th annual meeting in Washington on Monday, 27 April, NAS spokesman Bill Kearney confirmed Friday.

The last president to address the academy was Bill Clinton, although Obama will be the first sitting president to speak at the annual meeting since John F. Kennedy (the latter bit of trivia courtesy of John Holdren, the president’s science advisor, via Kearney).

The talk will take place Monday morning. Stay tuned for more.
