Michael Sam Teitelbaum (Rhodes 1966)
Author. Gov. Official. Foundations. Rhodes Scholar, University of Oxford. Council on Foreign Relations.
Instrumental in establishing the National Postdoctoral Association.
Among his significant accomplishments is helping to create the Professional Science Master’s (PSM), an innovative degree now awarded by some 140 universities that integrates graduate science training with subjects such as management, finance, ethics, and regulatory affairs to prepare students for a wide range of nonacademic, science-based careers.[2]
Teitelbaum’s strong grasp of policy and research have made him particularly adept at transforming research into practical solutions. The PSM, for example, grew out of his insight “that there was a disconnect between the graduate education system—the production system if you will—and the demand for the graduates of the production system. … In the meantime, corporate employers were saying, ‘We can’t find the people that we really need.’ ” What was lacking wasn’t Ph.D. scientists, those employers told him, but “graduate-educated scientists who also understand what it means to work in a large organization, a business. They have to meet deadlines [and] they have to work across disciplines; they can’t say ‘I’m going to work on my research project.’ “
4 Apr 2014 - NY Times - Bye-Bye, Baby By Michael S. Teitelbaum and Jay M. Winter …. NEARLY half of all people now live in countries where women, on average, give birth to fewer than 2.1 babies — the number generally required to replace both parents — over their lifetimes. This is true in Melbourne and Moscow, São Paulo and Seoul, Tehran and Tokyo. It is not limited to the West, or to rich countries; it is happening in places as diverse as Armenia, Bhutan, El Salvador, Poland and Qatar. At just over two births per woman (down from nearly four in 1957 at the peak of the baby boom), the United States is more fertile than most other rich countries, like Germany and Japan. In large, emerging economies where labor is still relatively cheap — places like Brazil, Russia, Iran, much of southern India — fertility rates have steadily fallen since the 1980s. The working-age population in China, an economic miracle over the last 35 years, may have peaked in 2012, fueling planners’ fears that China will grow old before it gets rich.[4]

1978, “an accident that occurred” took him in a completely unexpected direction. Congressman James Scheuer (D-NY) asked him to become Staff Director of the newly formed House Select Committee on Population. Select committees, Teitelbaum explains, do not deal with legislation but function “more like an internal think tank or study group for members of Congress who want to focus on an issue that cuts across many existing committees.” For the 2-year life of the select committee, Teitelbaum and a very able staff conducted a number of studies, allowing him “very broad” exposure to a wide range of issues, as well as to the workings of high-level government policy. When his position with the committee ended, Teitelbaum entered the foundation world, working at the Ford Foundation and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace before joining the Sloan Foundation in 1983. During his time at the Sloan Foundation he has served on other important policy bodies, including as a commissioner, vice chair, and acting chair of the U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform between 1990 and 1997.[2]
