AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ocean Science Policy: The Trump administration reversed course on dismantling the National Science Foundation’s deep-ocean monitoring network after bipartisan backlash, keeping key systems that track ocean chemistry and currents off coasts including North Carolina. PFAS & Water Safety: The Southern Environmental Law Center sued Robeson County over alleged PFAS contamination near the county landfill, saying water from a nearby treatment plant is distributing PFAS to a system serving 67,000 residents. Blueberry Threat: NC State researchers say the tile-horned Prionus beetle larva is shifting to blueberry roots, stressing drought-hit farms and raising concerns about spread to more regions. AI in Healthcare: ClearDiagnosis launched AI-powered medical second opinions reviewed by licensed physicians, aiming to cut the cost and turnaround time of diagnostic review. Life Sciences & Jobs: Kyowa Kirin is building a $200M life sciences manufacturing facility in Sanford, with operations planned for 2027 and continued partnership-building now. Defense Tech: A North Carolina congressman’s NDAA amendment would require deploying nuclear microreactors in the Indo-Pacific by 2030, with Guam lawmakers pushing for more transparency.
