Con la alta criminalidad, el desempleo y el menú de controversias políticas del día, ¿a quién le podría importar un asuntito de científicos?

De primera instancia, quizás el lector piense que los problemas de la Universidad de Puerto Rico (UPR) con la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias (National Science Foundation, NSF) no le conciernen. Pero el problema con la NSF no es un asunto que solo afecta a un puñado de académicos.

Petición de FASEB para frenar la secuestración de fondos para las ciencias

Giovanna Guerrero-Medina's picture

Amigos, la secuestración del presupuesto de los EEUU se postpuso, pero aún se corre riesgo de que hayan recortes extensos a muchas agencias federales, incluyendo aquellas que, cómo el NIH y el NSF, invierten billones de dólares para investigación científica. Recortes presupuestarios a estas agencias pondrían en peligro investigaciones y carreras científicas de dentro y fuera de Puerto Rico.
