And those power lines and then to discover 22 elements that would be much smaller as the pandemic in the us it is apparent the laboratories and programs help to respond to the virus its not well known that research is not new to the lab those that neutralize chemical and biological agents this was used to clean up the Congressional Office buildings in 2001 with the threat of anthrax. And then to develop and with those radioisotopes with those Imaging Technology doe labs house and operate these facilities to establish by the department in 1997 as part of the human genome project and then to characterize those organisms of bioenergy and biogeochemistry also the gcompetition analysis so leveraging these capabilities have a ton of measures against the coronavirus to affect transmission this is why it possesses with the great challenges that expertise and their Research Tools responding to the pandemic and what future biological System Research with the most pressing issue i look forward to
Their research, climate change, access to Research Labs and private and Public Partnerships and research. The committee, email address is circulated prior to the hearing. Good afternoon and welcome to todays hearing. Will hear about how these capabilities have been leveraged in response to the covid19 pandemic. I want to thank the Ranking Members, members of the subcommittee and witnesses for joining us today. Members of the subcommittee are enthusiastic about the Energy Innovations coming out of the nation. Given the labs providing our country, the materials pioneering power lines, and discovering 22 elements, the periodic table would be much smaller. As a covid19 pandemic begins to unfold in the u. S. , its apparent the does operatory programs are well positioned as we respond to the virus. Its perhaps not well known research is not in a lab. In fact, scientists developed neutralize chemicals and biological agents. This was used to cleanup the Office Buildings and anthrax in 2001. Sc

Get my steps in. Thank you guys also much for coming. Thank you for coming to wasnt center through the snow, sleet, whenever it is doing and on star wars day. Really appreciate it. I had the distinct pleasure of welcoming you to the Woodrow Wilson center and a lunch of the book designing reality. Launch. My name is Elizabeth Newbury and of the director for the Gains Initiative here at the Wilson Center in the science and Technology Innovation program. This means when im not introducing world famous authors i Transit Research ideas into one most dynamic mediums we have public engagement, gains. As alan might agree, games are one of the best tools we have for translating complexity into an accessible, and there i say fun, format. Translating complexity something we specialize in here for the science and Technology Innovation program from diy bio labs and makers basis for help innovation to science fighting zika to cybersecurity laws for congressional staff. We specialize in being the bri
When we were writing the book, we really tried to find the first social scientist and policymakers that recognized that technology was doubling in performance and it was decades after the article. The social sciences were really reactive to the science and, you know, as a result, next slide, we are still playing catchup. So, you know, neil says anybody can make almost anything but right now 4 billion people are not connected, you cant have a digital fabrication if youre not digit le connected. Before we get to a fab divide which would hold on one second. Access is not binary, its not like you have it or you dont. One investors is Sesame Workshop and they do great job on inclusion and talk about continuation of access. Billions of people have a feature phone, thats all. Try rating a document, fabrication work flows on a future phone, so not even if you have access, you may have minimal access, cost is an issue so about 2 billion people have very limited access. So already most of the pl
