SXSW 2025

Charting the Future of STEM

Description:

Who or what does the STEM workforce look like 25, 50 and 75 years from now? What is the secret to healthy competitiveness and adaptation in the scientific enterprise? And how does the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Director view the future of STEM?

NSF investments in research and people have brought forth such advances as the first image of the black hole at the center of our galaxy, advanced kidney transplant matching algorithms, DNA amplification and 3D printing. As NSF turns 75, look forward to what the next 75 years will bring in a session with Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan.
