America’s research enterprise has massive return on investment, as Senator Patty Murray notes. While there are inefficiencies to address, across-the-board budget cuts won't solve them. #VAST provides a strategic, measured approach to fortifying our S&T ecosystem: vastfuture.org/avenue-1

.U.S. National Science Foundation undeniably protects our national security and economy. Dismantling NSF as China threatens our global S&T leadership plays right into their hands. More than ever, we need to bolster our S&T enterprise – not undercut it. Read more from Chelsea Harvey eenews.net/articles/nsf-i…

.U.S. National Science Foundation funds S&T research at the core of U.S. national defense. As China aggressively ramps up investments to overtake America in innovation, we can’t afford self-inflicted wounds.

The House is considering a bill that would make R&D tax credit permanent – a pro-innovation policy with bipartisan support that will lead to more discoveries made in America. This must be part of a broader approach to support the S&T enterprise that underpins American excellence.

25 years ago, U.S. National Science Foundation funded research laid the groundwork for CRISPR. What started as curiosity-driven research led to treatment for a baby born with a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder. This is what we lose with cuts to federally-funded research. npr.org/sections/shots…
