现今科学的作用反映在人们生活的方方面面,在国家政治中也扮演着越来越重要的角色。虽然总统候选人并非科学家,但是科学话题也是他们辩论的议题之一。Sciencedebate网站邀请数千科学家、工程师和居民提交了他们认为在总统竞选中应当涉及的问题,这些问题都是当前国家所面临的重要问题。他们列出了2012年总统竞选中所涉及的重要科学政策问题:1.创新和经济。自第二次世界大战以来,科技在美国经济发展中占主导地位,联邦政府也优先鼓励科学发展。但是近来的一些报告质疑美国在这些领域(科技)的领先地位。什么样的政策可以确保美国的创新在世界上的领先地位?
The role of science today is reflected in all aspects of people’s lives and plays an increasingly important role in the national politics. Although the presidential candidate is not a scientist, the topic of science is also one of the topics for debate. The Sciencedebate website invites thousands of scientists, engineers and residents to submit questions they think should be involved in the presidential campaign, all of which are important issues facing the country. They list important scientific and policy issues involved in the 2012 presidential campaign: 1. Innovation and economics. Since the Second World War, science and technology have dominated the U.S. economy and the federal government has given priority to encouraging scientific development. However, some recent reports have questioned the U.S. leadership in these fields (science and technology). What kind of policy can ensure the leading position of American innovation in the world?
