Major Kate Rubins is an astronaut who got her start as a molecular biologist. She participated in two missions to the international space station, working as a scientist and engineer in space. Rubins orchestrated the first sequencing of DNA in space. Find out why that matters.
Recent projects are focused on mapping the microbial metagenome of the space station, which involves taking around 1000 samples of the station. Catriona Jamieson, a hematologist and director of the Sanford Stem Cell Institute has sent tumors and stem cells aboard private spaceflights like SpaceX CRS-24 and the recent Axiom-3 mission to be studied in the International Space Station.
Can we leverage science fiction to create vision? What can Sci-Fi teach us about directing privacy policy for emerging technologies like AI and AR/VR? What lessons from now can continue to shape actions in the future?

Maj Gen Steve “Bucky” Butow, USAF, is the Military Deputy of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), Office of the Secretary of Defense. He’s also DIU’s first Space Portfolio Director. You should read his bio. What’s on his mind matters.
The battlefield is absolutely about innovation. What’s going on in Silicon Valley, in Washington DC, globally, and in San Diego. Is dual-use a thing? How do we compete and win globally? Should we be worried?
Magic Leap is the innovating leader in augmented reality, bringing together industry-leading optics, scalable production, and AI capabilities for immersive AR experiences. Agility is the robotics leader with a bipedal Mobile Manipulation Robot (MMR) called Digit. Are robots going to fill roles in logistics and manufacturing operations? Is that just the start?
Wind, Nuclear, renewables. General Atomics work on fusion is world leading. Supply chain issues must be overcome for fusion to be commercialized. There’s thermo-nuclear propulsion, TRIGA reactors, and why the military plays a critical role in projecting American power around the world. Are we making progress?
This one will leave you talking. Yeah, you should be worried.
