A Pfizer senior vice president said mRNA technology could transform vaccines for the flu and lead to breakthroughs in cancer treatment.

I'll lose sleep if we don't continue to modernize our Air Force to ensure that we stay ahead of where they are."

A toaster-sized device called MOXIE is tucked inside NASA's Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in 2021. NASA's Perseverance rover descends onto Mars, on February 18, 2021. The oxygen atoms then combine with each other to produce oxygen gas. MOXIE splits carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen atoms, before the single oxygen atoms combine to make breathable oxygen. Researchers imagine a jumbo version of MOXIE, approximately 100 times larger, could produce oxygen at the same rate as several hundred trees.

Instead of taking a hardline cutting and savings approach, tech firms should refocus on retaining loyal employees and cultivating talent.
