Excited @CompeteNow will be kicking off new series of regional discussions in 2024. This article by @DWinceSmith helps provide some context for why they're important: forbes.com/sites/deborahwinc…
First week at @CompeteNow, and I appreciate the nice welcome I've received.

The CHIPS and Science Act is a major moment of aspiration for U.S. innovation but the money is falling short.
@BrookingsMetro @FAScientists review the situation

Interesting, I hadn't noticed this before but @OECDinnovation, the authoritative keeper of global science statistics, has put China's self-reported R&D statistics under review.

After years of effort to pass the bipartisan CHIPS And Science Act, Congress is now at risk of missing its R&D funding targets by billions.
In a new post + report, we tally up current gaps for federal #science agencies: fas.org/blogs/sciencepolicy/…

Space telescopes, assemble!
X-ray *and* heat vision? It might sound like something out of a comic book, but that’s what happens when you combine the abilities of @ChandraXRay and Webb, as seen in these new composite images:

Chandra & Webb, together at last! Webb's infrared abilities combined with Chandra's X-ray vision underscore how the power of any of NASA's telescopes is only enhanced when joined with other instruments, both in space and on the ground. More: s.si.edu/chandrawebb

ALT Four distinct composite images presented in a two-by-two grid. Upper left, an image of five galaxies known as Stephan's Quintet. Upper right, is an image of the Cartwheel galaxy, a neon pink disk with an outer ring, and a solid, slightly off-center spiraling core. Lower left, an image of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 which contains hundreds of individual galaxies in a sea of black space. Lower right, an image of the Carina Nebula, which resembles a rust brown mountain range backed by a hazy blue night sky. Full visual descriptions of these images are available at the link in the post and as alternative text for the individual images below.
