Reculturing science: politics, policy, and promises to keep

Science and Public Policy, 1996, vol. 23, issue 1, 2-12

Abstract: The time has come for US scientists to review their ‘compact’ with the Government The 90s must demonstrate that the self-interest of the scientist is in the best interest of the nation, if not of the world. The need is for new habits of mind; new expectations about federal research funding; new understanding of the word ‘discretionary’; and a new responsiveness to questions raised by political actors, as coached by their support agencies and policy analysts. This is a time to be inclusive in terms of human resources; to reconsider the status of universities as the panacea for all ills; to think globally and connect with other federal policies; and to demystify science.
