Nieh confirmed for the NRC
Nieh
Earlier today, the U.S. Senate officially confirmed Ho Nieh in a 66–32 vote to serve as a commissioner on the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission through the remainder of a term that will expire June 30, 2029. All present Republicans, alongside 15 Democrats and one Independent, cast their votes in favor of Nieh, who was nominated by President Trump in July and fills the seat left vacant following the dismissal of former commissioner Christopher Hanson.
NRC details: The commission leading the NRC now comprises four members. Nieh joins Chair David Wright and commissioners Bradley Crowell and Matthew Marzano. One spot remains unfilled after the resignation of Annie Caputo in July. President Trump nominated Douglas Weaver earlier this month to fill Caputo’s seat.

Neurodiversity is the concept that everyone's brain is unique. It encompasses a spectrum of characteristics, including but not limited to ADHD or autism, that impact on how different individuals approach and perform their work and interact with others. Just as we all bring different skills and expertise to our work, so too do we bring different minds with our own advantages and challenges. Ultimately, we want to foster an environment and community that enables everyone to perform at their fullest potential. This panel discussion is aimed at a neurodiverse audience to serve as a broad overview to a general audience around this complex topic. We will explore success strategies and challenges shared by neurodiverse individuals, as well as best practices for leaders and individual contributors for accommodating a neurodiverse team.
