据《自然》周刊报道，最近美国的一些重要的共和党参议员相继提出要使政府对科学和生物医学的研究投人分别在10年和5年内翻番的提案。虽然这两个目标未必能达到，但这些提案可能是一种早期迹象，表明新的美国国会将可能增加对科学投人，虽然它目前正在致力于平衡联邦预算。得克 According to the “Nature” magazine reported recently, some important Republican senators in the United States have put forward proposals to double the government's investment in science and biomedical research respectively in 10 years and 5 years. Although these two goals may not be achieved, these proposals may be an early sign that the new U.S. Congress will likely increase its investment in science, though it is currently working to balance the federal budget.
