“Actually, and I mean this as the highest compliment I can pay, [President Obama’s] geek quotient is very high. I remember being in a meeting with him where he quoted from a PCAST report. I don’t know if you know what PCAST is—it’s the Presidential Council Advisory of Science and Technology—it is a high-powered group of incredibly smart scientists and technologists who produce these really thick reports. And I’m in a meeting with the president, and he says, ‘Yeah, on page 53 of that PCAST report.’ [Laughing] People swiveled and said, ‘What? You read page 53 of a PCAST report?’ He loves this stuff.”
U.S. Chief Technology Officer Todd Park in Fast Company
