Remember in-person meetings? A year ago, would you have thought our world, our homes and offices would be upended and changed so rapidly? Seemingly overnight businesses were adapting to a new reality. We at U.S. Food and Drug Administration adapted as well – we had to. Our mission is so critical, we couldn’t fall behind because too much was, and still is, at risk. At the start of this 21st year of the 21st Century, businesses, manufacturers, the FDA, and patients, are all adjusting to the changing times and adopting new trends. For the day-to-day work of the FDA those changes are focused on

Shaping the future US bioeconomy through safety, security, sustainability, and social responsibility
The promise of the bioeconomy Bioindustrial manufacturing will be one of the most important technologies of the 21st century, with the promise to create jobs, secure supply chains, and create environmentally sustainable materials, processes, and products i. The USA has been a leader in this field, but peer competitor nations are closing the gap through ambitious top-down strategies with significant R&D spending and aggressive talent recruitment ii. The global bioeconomy is projected to have a US$2–4 trillion direct economic impact annually across the world by 2040, so it is critical for the
President Biden made advanced manufacturing a major policy priority during his campaign, including calling for a significant expansion of manufacturing programs to reach 50 communities through new manufacturing-technology hubs. Expanded manufacturing programs will invest in our nation’s long-term competitive innovation capacity. However, building these programs successfully requires a thoughtful and practical implementation plan. This memo presents two categories of recommendations to improve the U.S. advanced-manufacturing ecosystem: 1. Improve the existing Manufacturing USA institutes. Some
… could code for them and help their customers code to fulfill their photonic chip designs.” Aeon compares how electronic chips and photonic chips work. Electronic chips, which are about the size of a human thumbnail, run on electricity and interact with software and hardware to control the … which comprise photonic devices and circuits that are miniaturized onto the surface of a semiconductor chip. Much of this photonic chip design work is done using computer code in languages such as Python. “I’m learning how to use my programming skills to find and solve coding problems in chip designs as my team works to bring photonic chips to life. The applications of photonics are nearly limitless!” “I genuinely enjoy it so much that it doesn't feel …
