Multiple reviews of the science and technology programs in the Air Force Research Laboratory are also completed annually.<\/p>\n<p>Hancock is a native of the United Kingdom, but became a U.S. citizen after moving stateside. He said serving on the board is an opportunity to lend some expertise to a country that has provided him so many opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. has been very good to me,\u201d Hancock said. \u201cIt\u2019s the responsible thing to give something back.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UCF is now represented on the scientific advisory board that supplies independent guidance to U.S. Air Force research.
