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.

There is no doubt that science and technology have a great impact on our lives. Transportation, media, medical advances and what we know about the Universe and the human body, are the result of scientific knowledge and its applications.

Science is also inseparable from the economy, politics, law and education. The decision-making process concerning the preservation of our ecosystems, or in which areas of research to invest funding in order to stimulate solutions to social problems, can and should be informed by scientific data.
