Satellite-Terrestrial Integration Emerges as Core Pillar of U.S. Broadband and 6G Strategy

The FCC’s 2025 roadmap identifies satellite-terrestrial convergence as essential to achieving national broadband and 6G goals. Hybrid architectures improve resiliency, coverage, and disaster response. Key challenges include unified spectrum management, mobility support across orbits, and cross-domain control signaling. Faculty can contribute by advancing NTN-aware routing algorithms, dynamic spectrum-sharing protocols, and architectures enabling seamless mobility and service continuity across space-ground networks.

Women’s Health Attracts Renewed Investment as Clinical Priorities Begin to Shift

Long-term confidence in women’s health innovation is signaled by VC and philanthropic interest, including a $2.5B commitment from the Gates Foundation. Recent funding targets historically under-researched areas: menstrual health, uterine fibroids, and female-specific conditions like PMDD. Clinical trials are expanding to reflect sex-based biology and lifecycle-specific needs. Faculty can contribute by advancing menstrual-aware diagnostics, developing female-centric disease models, and addressing gaps in trial representation and symptom reporting.
