Cornell University President Dr. David Skorton, framed by an American flag and a Smithsonian flag, speaks during a news conference at the Smithsonian Castle in Washington, Monday, March 10, 2014, where he was named the 13th Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Skorton, a cardiologist, will replace Secretary Wayne Clough, who plans to retire in October after six years. The 64-year-old will be the first physician to lead the organization and its 13th secretary since 1846. For much of its history, the Smithsonian has been led by scientists.
