“We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost. We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories. And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. And all this we will do.” – President Barack Obama
This statement seems to resonate the most amongst folks in technology, sciences and education and has already started circulating many list serves, blogs and mailing lists. It is time for science to return to its rightful place of helping the world, enabling people and improving lives across all of our communities.
