On this episode of PTERODACTYL, we interviewed Jared B. Adams, the Chief Communications Officer for DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. If there is any scientific frontier, then DARPA is there. DARPA is an Agency of the United States Department of Defence, meaning that their mandate is to come up with inventions and discoveries that will assist the military.
