A new video series from the The Science Coalition takes a look at the payback on funding for the sciences and research. From the project… The “Innovators” video series highlights six researchers engaged in scientific discovery today. These individuals – from Brown University, Stony Brook University, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Maryland and University of Pennsylvania – are conducting research, running labs, teaching classes, mentoring young scientists, and, through new discoveries, techniques and insights, enhancing America’s capacity to innovate. They are working to turn smart phones into go-anywhere medical devices; identify the ideal Navy SEAL candidate before that person ever goes through basic training; provide the scientific basis for sound public policies; connect the dots between lifestyle and quality of life, bringing down healthcare costs in the process; develop tools that give surgeons ‘X-ray vision;’ and help the body to heal itself by re-growing tissue at a place or a time that it wouldn’t ordinarily do so.
The Science Coalition has also produced a complementary brochure and a new webpage (innovators.sciencecoalition.org)
