Washington and Lee University
On the eve of the presidential election, Dr. Charles D. Ferguson, the Philip D. Reed Senior Fellow for Science and Technology at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), visited Washington and Lee to discuss the energy policies, especially the role of nuclear energy, of candidates Barack Obama and John McCain.
Ferguson's work at CFR focuses on nuclear energy, nonproliferation and prevention of nuclear terrorism. He and Dr. Frank Settle, visiting professor of chemistry at Washington and Lee University, are the principal investigators of the Nuclear Energy Education in the 21st Century Project, which receives support from W&L alumnus Gerry Lenfest.
