The NDMA recognizes the valuable contributions of Dr. Cummings and her colleagues toward the pursuit of better, safer joint human and machine systems. Moreover, the NDMA advocates for the fundamental right of all researchers to pursue answers to critical questions and solutions to vexing problems free from personal threat.
