President Joe Biden is intensifying his focus on his 'moonshot' initiative to significantly reduce cancer deaths, particularly following his announcement not to seek a second term. During a visit to Tulane University in New Orleans, he pledged $150 million in research grants to enhance cancer treatment technologies, emphasizing the urgency of the initiative in light of the nearly 2 million new cancer diagnoses expected this year. The moonshot program aims to halve cancer deaths by 2047, inspired by Biden's personal experience with his late son, Beau, who succumbed to brain cancer. Meanwhile, research from a retired NASA mission has uncovered evidence of an underground water reservoir on Mars, potentially altering future explorations of the planet. Biden's current focus aligns with a broader strategy to prioritize key policy areas like health care and the economy in his remaining time in office.
