America’s food supply faces a number of emerging threats, including the effects of climate change, cyberattacks and even espionage. As the U.S. government enhances defense of agricultural systems, researchers at APL are poised to assist.

Larry Paxton, a space scientist at APL, has earned a 2024 International Astronautical Federation (IAF) Distinguished Service Award.

Michael Connelly, the chief strategist for classified policies and programs at Johns Hopkins APL, has been elected vice chair of the FFRDC/UARC Security Council.

Patrick Binning has received the University of Colorado Boulder’s Ann and H.J. Smead Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences award for excellence in public service.

High school seniors, finalists in the Society for Science Regeneron Science Talent Search, visited APL to explore advanced research in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The visit highlighted APL’s innovative work and provided the students with insights into STEM careers.

Ella Dobson, whose pioneering work in ocean remote sensing at APL spanned 36 years, left a profound impact on science, embodying the spirit of both Black History Month and Women’s History Month. Her legacy continues to inspire future generations in the STEM fields.

James Adams, a senior advisor in APL’s National Security Analysis Department, has been named to the Federal 100 this year.

Engineers and researchers at APL recently won two awards from The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society for their study on 3D-printing a space instrument to detect and source air pollution. The project marks a significant milestone in the 3D-printing industry because it relies on an end product to help build a framework for material selection, characterization and development.

APL’s Discovery Program marks its 10th anniversary with a legacy of impactful contributions and continuous growth. This milestone reflects the program’s success in empowering new graduates through hands-on, rotational experiences across various technical domains, equipping them to create innovative solutions for critical national security challenges.

To address manufacturing challenges, the Navy is prioritizing the development and fielding of additive manufacturing systems, often called 3D printers, to supplement traditional casting methods and accelerate submarine production. APL is leading the charge in the development of tools and strategies that will speed up and improve inspection of additively manufactured parts.
