Good pick

 

President Biden picked Rick Spinrad to head the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 

That's a good pick.

Now, if he can get a bigger budget (which the President is trying to accomplish), I think Spinrad can get NOAA back on track.   Without using a Sharpie.

Biden taps ocean scientist Rick Spinrad to run NOAA

"The agency, whose budget has stagnated for the past decade, has a diverse, complex and demanding portfolio. It oversees the National Weather Service, conducts and funds weather and climate research, and operates a constellation of weather satellites as well as a climate data center. It also has responsibilities in monitoring and protecting the nation’s coasts, oceans and fisheries.

Leading an organization the size of NOAA, with about 11,000 employees, will be a first for Spinrad, as will be overseeing a budget of around $5 billion, which may swell to $6.9 billion if Biden’s request to increase spending is approved by Congress."
