Wired's Danger Room reports that Peter Lee, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's "leading advocate for crowdsourcing and other ways of tapping new talent is leaving to join Microsoft." Lee, former head of Carnegie Mellon University's computer science department, was at DARPA for only a year. He developed DARPA's Transformative Apps program.
Danger Room also notes that Lee is "the third director of DARPA's seven major offices to leave since Regina Dugan took over the agency in June 2009."
