Science. Such a simple term inextricably involved in every aspect of our being. It's exploring the past while looking toward our future.Science is life. Step back and consider what we read, watch, hear, and experience in the news and everyday--stem cells, terrorism, immigration, human health, global sustainability, data mining, safety, geoengineering, socioeconomics, and beyond--all goes back to understanding our world: SCIENCE. So I can't fathom why research, innovation, and technology aren't already highest priority on the collective national agenda. We'll be revealing big news later today so consider this article by Chris prep reading. He poses the question:
What would America be like if science were permitted to inform decision making, and if scientific issues that concern the world's future were a natural part of a broad national conversation?
I wonder... You see, most of us, no matter where we fall on the political spectrum, do hope for a brighter future for our children and this home planet we share. So a society where policies are informed by the best science available presented with a nonpartisan agenda seems not only pragmatic--but absolutely critical. These are exciting times of tremendous possibility. We've got presidential election 2008 coming after all. It's a unique opportunity to emphasize our national priorities when everyone is listening. Given decisions now will shape the very course of history, just imagine what's achievable. Chris and I are looking forward to sharing our exciting news shortly and most of all, we hope you'll get involved! Check back soon...
