Great comment by Naderi on Facebook Re promotion

"I
wish Iranian papers would stick to the facts without embellishments
"Firouz Naderi now in charge of the MOST IMPORTANT EXPLORATION IN THE
WORLD" ......... oh come on. I got an exciting new assignment but THE
MOST IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD????? Why the need for over the top
exaggeration?"

 

My kind of important man! Also thinks about Iranian culture and politics. His Facebook Page speaks volumes about him:

"As
we approach the second anniversary, some are waiting for the missing
imam to come out of the well ...... I am waiting for the next Satar Khan
to rise from among the people....or the maybe the army.

This is the real Iranian

Two weeks ago, NASA honored Naderi with its highest award, the Distinguished Service Medal, citing his "distinguished contribution to space science and exploration."

Naderi joined JPL in 1979 and has held a number of program and project management positions. For four years prior to managing the recent successes of NASA's Mars program, he managed the NASA's Origins Program, an ambitious plan to search for other Earths around other suns. Earlier positions included program manager for space science flight experiments and project manager for the NASA Scatterometer, which monitored winds from Earth orbit. Naderi, who was born in Shiraz, Iran, and moved to the United States 40 years ago, holds three degrees in electrical engineering: a bachelor's from Iowa State University in Ames, and a master's and doctorate from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He lives in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
