Congress must modernize tech expertise to meet future challenges
Lawmakers face rapid tech changes amid limited scientific training with only two scientists among 541 members. Calls rise to revive the Office of Technology Assessment, expand GAO and CRS tech capacity, and hire more technical staff to guard economic and national security interests. Jason Grumet and Garrett Johnson are named experts backing bipartisan reform.

Antibiotic resistance: CDC report warns of evolving threat
The CDC warns that antibiotic resistance remains a severe global health threat with 2.8 million infections and 35 000 deaths yearly in the United States. Although hospital interventions reduced deaths by 18 percent since earlier estimates, many infections arise outside hospitals and new resistances emerge as old ones wane. Gonorrhea resistance remains until only one class of antibiotics works. The report links human animal and environmental health under a one health approach and urges prudent antibiotic use and new drug development.
