🎙️In At the Table with Tony: Secrets of Being a Good Coach with Mia Wise, Tony’s former student Mia Wise interviews him about the secrets to effective coaching. Tony says don’t try to replicate his approach – rely on your own strengths - but make sure to start your session with clarity: What’s the problem you are trying to work on? What’s the specific mission – where can you move the needle? What strategies and actions will cause change? What are the stakeholder outcomes and benefits? Address these questions with either a top-down approach (big picture first) or a bottom-up approach (specific strategies first). Both are effective. Use the questions regularly and you’ll soon be a better counselor to your colleagues, friends and family. At the Table with Tony is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music. #podcast #coachingadvice
The Deep Tech Initiative, in partnership with the Duke Quantum Center and the Center for Innovation Policy at Duke Law, hosted Quantum 101 to explore quantum computing, technical innovations and policy implications shaping the field. The event included panel discussions on applications across disciplines, and governance and security considerations, as well as a student poster session showcasing emerging research. Sanford students had the opportunity to connect with peers in Computer Science, Engineering, and beyond — reflecting Duke’s commitment to interdisciplinary learning and innovation.
“What makes culture less interesting for listeners is also what makes it less sustainable for artists.” Journalist Liz Pelly visited Duke Sanford for a conversation on “Mood Machine,” her national bestseller revealing the real costs of the perfect playlist. David Hoffman, Sanford’s Steed Family Professor of the Practice of Cybersecurity Policy, and Tift Merritt, Duke’s current Artist-in-Residence and an acclaimed singer-songwriter whose own work explores the intersections of art, authorship and community, joined @lizpelly for a discussion exploring the broader policy implications of her research. Examining the impacts of technology on artists? This is public policy. Event recap: https://duke.is/liz-pelly-2025
“There is humanity in technology.” Meet Anne Washington, Sanford’s new Rothermere/Harmsworth Duke Associate Professor of Technology Policy. She is a computer scientist trained in organizational ethnography who applies her expertise in digital innovation to issues of data governance. Her work explores how digital technologies intersect with governance and society to better understand the role of data in public life. Welcome, Dr. Washington!
Congratulations to Peter Fernandez, co-founder and executive chairman of MOMBAK, on being named to the 2025 #TIME100Climate! The @time list highlights the 100 most influential leaders driving business climate action today. Peter graduated from @dukeuniversity in 2006 with a degree in public policy. Today he leads @mombak.carbono, a Brazilian carbon removal company, in executing large-scale native, biodiverse reforestation projects. What gives him hope about the future of the planet? Climate action is economically rational. Yes, it will cost trillions of dollars to limit climate change. But the social and economic costs of letting the world heat out of control would be far higher. If we are economically rational, we will both dramatically reduce CO2 emissions and dramatically scale up removing CO2 from the atmosphere that was already emitted.

Why is Tech Policy important? Right now, it’s easy to argue that all public policy is being shaped by tech policy. At @dukeuniversity — and particularly at Duke Sanford — the intersection of technology and the public good has become a defining strength. Faculty across Sanford are leading research on platform accountability, AI ethics, cybersecurity, and data governance, while preparing students to lead responsibly in an increasingly digital world. #techpolicy #publicpolicy
Thank you to everyone who joined the Día de los Muertos celebration in the Sanford lobby, organized by the Sanford Latin American and Caribbean (SLAC) and Policy for the People student organizations. Together, we honored the lives of loved ones who’ve passed and embraced the beauty of this tradition of remembrance. Community members placed photos of their loved ones on the altar, creating a meaningful space of reflection and connection. Guests also enjoyed tacos served by SLAC leaders. We’re grateful to everyone who took part in celebrating and learning about this tradition that reminds us to honor life through memory, community and love.
Life is gourd 🎃 What a great way to start the weekend! Sanford Fall Fest, costumes, pumpkin carving, oh my!
What is Tech Policy? 🤷🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ We asked experts at Duke! Tech Policy is at the heart of today’s biggest public policy questions, and in 2025, it’s front and center at Duke Sanford. All through November, we’re shining a spotlight on our amazing faculty, alumni, staff, interdisciplinary research, and student experiences that make Sanford an amazing place to dive into Tech Policy. #techpolicy #publicpolicy
Is free healthcare really free? Duke Sanford’s Nathan Boucher discussed this topic at the NC Institute of Public Leadership (IOPL) Hometown Forum with David Larson from the @carolinajournal, Rep. Sarah Crawford, and Rep. Grant Campbell. The panel, moderated by @spectrumnews1nc’s Sarah Rudlang, debated the next steps for reforming health care on both the state and federal level. Sponsored by @thebigi_nc and @hcahealthcare, the Hometown Forum Series raises awareness of key issues by bringing newsmakers to communities across the state.
At the Table with Tony is back for season 2! Professor Emeritus Tony Brown, along with new host Duke student Riley Reece, sit at the table with Brandon Busteed PPS’99 to discuss the five-year career plan. When you’re considering career options, “you can’t think about your whole life,” Tony says. Instead, consider a five-year path and prioritize working for a good boss because research shows that whether a person is engaged at work is due in large part to their manager. #podcast #careerplanning
