Congressional Briefing Highlights the Roles of Science and Tec... Congressional Briefing Highlights the Roles of Science and Tec... Congressional Briefing Focuses on Strengthening the Defense Industrial Base Feb. 9, 2018 Resigned Major General Nick Justice (closer view), official executive of PowerAmerica Manufacturing USA, was the arbitrator for the Congressional Briefing, which included introductions from (at table, left to right) Dr. Robert Ghrist of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Tony Rivera of the University of Maryland, Dr. Andrew Ellington of the University of Teas at Austin, and Dr. Neil Gershenfeld, executive of the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT. ASME as of late joined the Coalition for National Security Research (CNSR) in facilitating a Congressional Briefing on the significant job of resistance science and innovation (ST) financing in guaranteeing a solid guard modern base. Banner introductions exhibiting DOD-financed research at CNSR-part colleges surrounded the space for visitors to see as they discovered their seats at the preparation, which occurred Jan. 30 at the Capitol Visitor Center. U.S. Rep. Jack Bergman (R-MI) and U.S. Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) met with analysts from colleges in their own congressional locale to get familiar with the logical advances being made through DOD-subsidized exploration. Resigned Major General Nick Justice, official executive of PowerAmerica Manufacturing USA, directed the occasion and presented Dale Ormond, standard chief for the Research Directorate at the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, who conveyed introductory statements before four DOD-subsidized scientists introduced their bleeding edge exploration to the crowd of more than 80. Dale Ormond (far right), rule chief for the Research Directorate at the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, if introductory statements at the preparation, which featured the exploration of (at table, left to right) Dr. Robert Ghrist, Dr. Tony Rivera, Dr. Andrew Ellington, and Dr. Neil Gershenfeld. Dr. Neil Gershenfeld, executive of the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT, showed his work on making new mechanical procedures dependent on science that permit producers to digitize the genuine material segments. Dr. Andrew Ellington of the University of Texas at Austin shared that significant exploration frequently begins under DOD and that the future abilities of the U.S. rely upon the essential exploration led today. Dr. Tony Rivera of the University of Maryland featured the estimation of decent variety in STEM, and Dr. Robert Ghrist of the University of Pennsylvania addressed the significance of intelligent learning in STEM fields to build appreciation of complex subjects and critical thinking capacities. Following the introductions, extraordinary visitor resigned Rear Admiral Matthew Klunder remarked on the legislatures fundamental job in the development environment, as government subsidizing catalyzes extra ventures somewhere else, increasing its effect. Previous Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics John J. Youthful, Jr., offered shutting comments, confirming the significance of a vigorous ST program in guaranteeing a solid resistance modern base. He urged the crowd to put resources into research in any event, when it has no undeniable application, as those trials frequently lead to world-evolving disclosures. - Samantha Fijacko, ASME Government Relations
