As the world's science and tech power centers shift, the U.S., China and other countries are racing to train — and competing to attract — top talent that can drive innovation and the economic growth and national security advantages that often stem from it. The State of Science in America report from the non-partisan Science & Technology Action Committee calls for the U.S. to develop a national science and tech strategy and for policymakers to at least double federal funding for scientific research over the next five years. The report included a survey of nearly 2,000 people in the U.S. working in five sectors that intersect with science and technology — K-12 education, health care, business, military and national security, and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). - Just 8% of respondents said the U.S. is the global leader in science and tech and is expanding its lead, according to the report. - In addition, "60% believe that China — not the United States — will be the global leader in science and technology in five years." - Nearly 80% of respondents working in the national security sector said China presented a national security threat to the U.S. — compared to 50% of STEM workers. https://sciencetechaction.. #Science Teachers In Asia #For Teachers By Teachers #Edtech Innovation
