The Baker Forum was established by the Cal Poly President’s Cabinet on the occasion of two decades of service to Cal Poly by President Warren J. Baker and his wife, Carly, to further the dialogue on critical public policy issues facing the nation and higher education. The forum gives particular attention to the special social and economic roles and responsibilities of polytechnic and science and technology universities.
In his Keynote address to the 2010 Baker Forum, "The Dollars and Sense of Pharmaceutical Innovation: Saving Lives Through Drug Discovery," Walter Moos, vice president of SRI International’s Biosciences Division, described and analyzed the complex relationship between the economics of discovering, testing and providing new lifesaving medicines and the challenges of maintaining and increasing the spirit of innovation.
