FDA Celebrates National STEM Day 2023

The work we do every day at FDA relies on STEM. Without science, technology, engineering, and math, we could not protect your health and the health of your animals. Our scientists and staff do important and groundbreaking work in all areas of STEM. Their expert knowledge ensures that you can drink a safe glass of milk with your morning breakfast, your 4th of July potato salad is safe, your grandma’s medicine keeps her blood pressure in a safe range, your tetanus vaccine protects you if you step on a nail, and that you understand the dangers that lurk within a cigarette.

In recognition of National STEM Day, celebrated November 8, 2024, we’ve created a montage video to showcase the innovative and fascinating STEM work some of our Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists do every day.  Watch the video below and learn how YOUR STEM Education can lead to YOUR exciting career at FDA!
