SUMMARY:Webinar: What Is Biosecurity for the Twenty-First Century?
DESCRIPTION:After September 11 and the anthrax attacks in 2001\, the United States adopted a top-down governance structure for bioterrorism that famously employed “guns\, gates\, and guards” to prevent attacks\, while keeping track of suspicious “insiders” who might cause harm. But today\, after the emergence of the novel coronavirus and its variants\, society’s idea of what constitutes biological security and safety is changing. Looking toward a future in which gene editing can be done by do-it-yourselfers\, biological engineering is common\, and environmental changes shape new biorealities\, the old top-down model of biosecurity will not be up to the task.\n  \nOn May 23 at 3:00 PM ET\, join Melissa Haendel (University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus)\, David Gillum (Arizona State University)\, Sam Weiss Evans (Harvard Kennedy School)\, and Yong-Bee Lim (Council on Strategic Risks) to discuss how to reimagine biosecurity and biosafety—and even the relationship between biological research and society—for a new era.\n  \nRegister now to join this Zoom webinar!

SUMMARY:Broadening STEM Participation in Rural and Remote Communities
DESCRIPTION:Science\, technology\, engineering\, and math (STEM) training is growing increasingly important. Nearly two-thirds of all available jobs require the skills gained through math and science education or STEM literacy. However\, rural communities trail behind urban and suburban ones in access to formal STEM education and informal STEM opportunities such as museums and science centers. How can we bridge this gap? \nLaunched in October 2016\, the Rural Activation and Innovation Network (RAIN) brings informal STEM learning opportunities to four underserved regions in Arizona. In partnership with the local communities\, RAIN developed local STEM resources\, supported informal STEM learning at libraries and community centers\, created capacity for rural engagement with national and international projects\, and helped change the way rural populations view STEM and its impact on their lives. \nOn April 22\, join this interactive discussion with RAIN project director Kalman Mannis to explore strategies and lessons learned from cultivating regional STEM hubs in rural Arizona communities\, and how these strategies can be scaled to other communities.

SUMMARY:No Help Wanted: Outside Technical Advice for the US Military
DESCRIPTION:The history of innovation\, science and technology policy in the U.S. is intertwined with the history of the military. In World War II\, civilian scientists and engineers worked closely with the armed forces to improve and innovate weapons technologies. Civilians such as Vannevar Bush were once in charge of advanced R&D. The consideration of outside expertise became the template for other federal bodies like the Environmental Protection Agency. After World War II\, however\, the services moved away from civilian expertise and relied more on professional military judgment. Why has the modern military turned away from serious consideration of outside expertise? \nOn April 12\, join John Alic\, Adjunct Faculty at ASU’s School for the Future of Innovation in Society and formerly Project Director at the one-time Office of Technology Assessment\, for a discussion of the evolution of science and technology policy in the military and its politicization. Alic’s article\, The U.S. Politico–Military–Industrial Complex\, examines the political dynamics of this complex and what it means. To understand the future of science policy\, we must understand the past\, and recognize the impact of politics in science.
