Sincere thanks to the Raymond and Beverly Sackler U.S.-U.K. Scientific Forum for support of this activity.
THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (NAS) was established to advise the United States on scientific and technical issues when President Lincoln signed a Congressional charter in 1863. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have issued numerous reports on topics related to cybersecurity, privacy in the information age, and societal implications of information technology.
THE ROYAL SOCIETY is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world’s most distinguished scientists. Its members are drawn from all areas of science, engineering, and medicine. It is the national academy of science in the U.K. The Society’s fundamental purpose, reflected in its founding Charters of the 1660s, is to recognize, promote, and support excellence in science, and to encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity.
