Compass Futures
Seeing Past The Present
Few, if any, developments in the world are as consequential and controversial as those driven by scientific and technological innovation. Such innovation drives paradigm shifts, inspires impassioned movements, propels rapid economic expansions, balances global playing fields, and seeps into virtually every aspect of our lives. Compass Futures dissects the scope of this powerful force in a unique and engaging fashion. Specifically, Compass Futures strives to share underreported scientific breakthroughs from around the world and first-hand coverage of many high-profile events hosted at Georgetown. From climate change to nuclear weaponry, from ambitious space missions to groundbreaking medical discoveries, we cover it all. Unlike conventional news outlets that primarily focus on the present, Compass Futures gives readers a glimpse into the uncertain future, where the crossroads of science and technology lead humanity.
