A great piece; re. the economic impacts of science funding cuts:
"government-supported research from the NSF and other agencies has had a return on investment of 150% to 300% since 1950, meaning for every dollar U.S. taxpayers invested, they got back between $1.50 and $3"
"government-supported research from the NSF and other agencies has had a return on investment of 150% to 300% since 1950, meaning for every dollar U.S. taxpayers invested, they got back between $1.50 and $3"
These cuts will have dramatic implications on the next generation through the loss of climate change research and science education.
