IARPA Retrospective Teaser
Jason Matheny: Well, I think the thing that most attracted me to the program manager role at IARPA was that there were problems that I as an individual researcher felt like I couldn't solve. I wasn't smart enough and I didn't have a way of multiplying myself and my hours such that I could accomplish what I wanted to.
So coming to IARPA as a program manager, the attraction was that I could multiply my research effort by funding a hundred scientists and engineers who were smarter than me, who could spend more time working on this problem than I could alone and solve problems that I wouldn't have been able to.
