White House Wants to Hear from You about Its “New Bold Goals and Priorities to Advance American Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing”
by Joanne Ivancic (Advanced Biofuels USA) “You can do good and do well,” concluded Jim Lane, editor and publisher of the Daily Digest at the Presidential Forum on Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation which opened the Advanced Bioeconomy Leadership Conference in Washington, DC, Wednesday afternoon, March 22, 2023.
In cooperation with the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy, ABLC hosted promotion and discussion of the just-announced “New Bold Goals and Priorities to Advance American Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing”. Dr. Arati Phabakar, a member of President Biden’s cabinet, Assistant to the President and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy did a “fireside chat” with Lane to begin the session emphasizing that achieving the goals will require a “boatload of hard work”.
Phabakar and the high level representatives from the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation and Department of Defense who followed, repeated the need for public and stakeholder communication to educate the government agencies about the real world responses to these goals. They want to know what knowledgeable people in research and development and deployment have to say about priorities, challenges and anything else they think is important. And they want those ideas and thoughts to be shared via social media.
