It will ensure the U.S. continues to pioneer the endless frontiers of discovery, and lead the world in S&T for decades and decades to come.

It’s an opportunity for companies to tap into the global marketplace of talent, employ promising young minds from around the world, and increase competitiveness by working with people who bring different perspectives & therefore the potential for possibilities previously unseen.

One of America’s greatest strengths is our ability to attract talented scientists and engineers from around the world. This is how we have led the world in science and technology for over 75 years, and this is how we win the competition of the 21st century.

Today, I’m proud to announce our plan to supercharge the Cancer Moonshot as a central effort of the Biden-Harris Administration. Our goal is to cut the cancer death rate by at least 50% over the next 25 years. It’s bold, ambitious, and completely doable.

Today @POTUS reignited the #CancerMoonshot to seize the possibilities – together let's end cancer as we know it. What does that mean? Read more in our op-ed in @USATODAY. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

🚨 @POTUS, @VP, @FLOTUS & @SecondGentleman are igniting a whole-of-government fight to end cancer as we know it today & @WHOSTP will coordinate White House leadership. Tune in NOW for more.

I wasn’t going to miss the Gesundheit II Machine! Thanks for hosting us and for your insights to inform the nation's pandemic preparedness.

Congratulations to John Holdren on the National Academy of Sciences’ Public Welfare Medal announcement. Few scientists alive today have contributed so much to how our Nation supports and promotes the advancement of science and technology. whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

There’s no more fitting way to commemorate Year 1️⃣ than @POTUS meeting with the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). #ScienceIsBack whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Our ability to be a magnet for talented scientists and engineers from all over the world has made America the global leader in science & technology. Today, the Administration is taking action to make sure that we continue to attract the best talent. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Tomorrow marks one year since the inauguration of President Biden and Vice President Harris. Here’s just some of what they’ve delivered for the American people: whitehouse.gov/oneyear.

As we mark the 50th anniversary of the National Cancer Act, I call upon all Americans to reaffirm our commitment to accelerate cancer research and deliver hope to more families facing a cancer diagnosis. Working together, we can and will end cancer as we know it.

This is not March 2020. 200 million people are fully vaccinated. We’re prepared. We know more. We just have to stay focused.

Today, I am ordering the federal government to purchase half a billion additional at-home rapid tests with delivery starting in January. We will be getting these tests to Americans for free — and we will have a website where you can get them delivered to your home.

In less than one year in office, @POTUS has: - driven the fastest decrease in unemployment in US history - gotten over 200M Americans fully vaccinated - delivered more than 171M rescue checks - delivered a once-in-a-generation infrastructure investment

Yesterday, CPRA leadership hosted Dr. Eric Lander, @POTUS' Science Advisor and Director of @WHOSTP, @NOAA Administrator Dr. Rick Spinrad, and RESTORE Council leadership to discuss Louisiana's coastal program and visit Davis Pond. Thanks for visiting!
