NSF Director

The impact of @NSF on our world is profound and far-reaching. As we commemorate our history, we also set our sights on the next 75 years and how we can continue to lead in areas like artificial intelligence, quantum and STEM education. #NSF75

It was great to join the #U7Alliance to spotlight @NSF's world-class investments in artificial intelligence, which engage the most innovative minds, institutions and communities across borders, sectors and disciplines to leverage the promise of AI to benefit humanity.

Thank you, @biotech_gov and @scsp_ai's for hosting the #BiotechSummit. It was an honor to join @SenToddYoung to discuss the importance of continued U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence and biotechnology.

.@NSF is expanding the ecosystem of available advanced computing, data and AI services available to the U.S. research community. CloudBank 2.0 will leverage industry resources and expertise to strengthen public-private partnerships, accelerating scientific discovery.

.Congrats to the newly appointed @WHOSTP47 director @mkratsios47. His work advancing policies around emerging technologies has been key to ensuring the competitiveness and growth of our nation's scientific enterprise. Together, we will ensure America's leadership in S&T.

The U.S.-Ireland R&D Partnership program provides a unique opportunity to advance world-class technological innovations. Together, we are furthering a global ecosystem of innovation that not only responds to today's challenges but anticipates the needs of tomorrow.

This @NSF-@ResearchIrel MOU is expanding on the robust and enduring cooperation between nations. It will unlock new opportunities for U.S.-Irish research teams to develop critical and emerging technologies that will help shape our future.

It was a pleasure to join @Ciaran_Seoighe to sign a new @NSF-@ResearchIrel MOU and congratulate this year's St. Patrick’s Day Science medalist. By uniting the brightest minds in the U.S. and Ireland, we accelerate discovery and innovation at speed and scale. #ResearchIreland

The @VRubinObs is one of the most ambitious scientific facilities ever created. The LSST Camera is a testament to the technical prowess and dedication of the entire @NSF–@doescience Rubin Observatory team and the scientific community that has been striving to get to this point.

Thanks @AcadofInventors! I am honored to be recognized as one of this year’s @IndiaDST’s #PadmaShri award recipients. Through collaborative efforts in STEM and education, we can continue to create a research ecosystem that pushes the frontiers of knowledge.

It was great to host Hashimoto Kazuhito, science and technology advisor to the prime minister and @JST_info president to @NSF headquarters. We discussed issues of mutual interest in research security and advancing innovation using the Quad alliance.
