Biochemist Sharon Hays, a Capitol Hill veteran who is currently the chief of staff at the Office of Science and Technology Policy, was nominated by President Bush in late July to become OSTP’s associate director of science. Before moving to OSTP in 2002, Hays was the staff director of the House Committee on Science’s subcommittee on research, and she worked in the office of Representative Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) as an American Association for the Advancement of Science congressional fellow.
After she is confirmed by the Senate, Hays will fill a post that has been vacant since Kathie Olsen left OSTP a year ago to become deputy director of NSF. Hays received her PhD in biochemistry from Stanford University in 1997.
