Maya Shankar is a former violin prodigy who performed with Itzhak Perlman at Juilliard. Inflamed tendons caused her to put down her fiddle, and now the United States is her instrument. So get ready to be played.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Shankar went on to Yale (where she studied cognitive science), Oxford and Stanford.
It would appear that she has never had an actual job unless you count post-doctoral fellow.
Shankar is not without accomplishments, though. She is a Rhodes scholar with a killer sense for publicity. Shes been featured on NPR three times and in Glamour and USA Today roundups of the nations most promising college students.
In Glamour, in 2006, she said her dream job would be presidential science adviser. So it has come to pass: For her first job, she is now senior policy advisor at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Thats right. Senior. This person was a senior at Yale as of 2007, but now she gets to tell you how to live your life. Sorry: encourage you to make choices that will make you happier.
Enjoy your Nudge.
