Abstract
Abstract Joanne S. Tornow was selected as assistant director for the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Directorate for Biological Sciences (BIO) in February 2019, following almost two decades with the foundation. Her duties ranged from program management to high-level leadership and strategic development, and she previously served as the head of BIO in an interim capacity. Prior to her time at the NSF, Tornow served on the faculty at Portland State University and the University of Southern Mississippi. James M. Verdier interviewed her about the directorate's current operations and future plans in March 2019. An audio version of this conversation can be found as a part of the American Institute of Biological Science's podcast series, BioScience Talks, available at http://bioscienceaibs.libsyn.com. Both versions have been edited for clarity.
