Experts have been warning for decades that U.S. science was heading for trouble. The government has steadily cut back on investing in research and development, and corporations have done the same. The quality of elementary and high school math and science education has plummeted. INSETS: SLOWING DOWN WHILE OTHERS SPEED UP;EUREKA!…BUT WHAT IS IT?. |
