As a member of the Council of Scientific Society Presidents - CSSP Committee on Government Affairs, I was proud to help craft the bi-partisan letter "Good Science Must Guide Legislation" intended for all national, state, and local elected officials and candidates for office.
Few Key Points:
- Good science assures the nation’s health, wealth, and national security.
- The well-being of Americans is currently challenged on many fronts: pandemic, cybersecurity, climate change, healthcare, etc. Good science will help resolve these threats and provide hope for a future in which we can all be vested.
- The United States must take the technological lead in the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy resources.
- The United States must regain a leadership position in renewable energy technology.
- International collaboration is critical to the development of new technologies and health solutions. We should strive to attract the best and brightest international students and researchers to America, and incentivize them to remain here.
- Sound scientific principles should be the major factor in legislating solutions to enhance the nation’s health, prosperity, and security.
Investment in science is investment in our future!
