Thank you, Mr. President

President Obama Announces Major Investments in Research and Education

"Obama said he is going to make major investments -- 3 percent of the gross domestic product -- in research and innovation."

"The president committed to doubling the budgets of three key science agencies -- the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy's Office of Science, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. He also announced the launch of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, a new Department of Energy organization modeled after the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. And Obama said he would triple the number of NSF graduate research fellowships."

This is great news for the future of the USA. I've felt for a long time that we don't put enough money into STEM research and education. If we aren't leading scientific innovation, we won't be leading anything else in the future.
