How Science Is a Global Affair
“How many scientists are in your government?” People asked me all sorts of things when I visited Moscow last year, but that simple question, and its expectation that naturally there should be many, made me pause. I knew of Russia's multimillion-dollar “megagrant” investments to encourage expatriate researchers to work in the country and the around $11 billion set aside to gin up nanotechnology businesses. Visiting Doha, Qatar, I learned about that country's pursuit of a “knowledge-based economy” and its aims to foster solar energy for desalination as well as telemedicine. At the ...
