Addressing the “missing millions” people who are capable of succeeding as scientists and engineers but do not have access to pathways that lead into those careers is a key step toward enabling the American STEM enterprise to thrive in the coming decades, U.S. National Science Foundation director Sethuraman Panchanathan said last week.
An independent federal agency with an annual budget of more than $8 billion, NSF works to advance scientific discovery, technological innovation and STEM education. During a plenary address at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Panchanathan laid out his vision for the future of the agency. In addition to diversifying the research community, his priorities include securing global leadership and capitalizing on bipartisan support for science at time of otherwise intense partisanship in U.S. polit
