I have some exciting news about a new project recently launched by our sister organization, the Center for American Progress. It is called Science Progress and it includes a website, http://www.scienceprogress.org, and by early next year a quarterly magazine as well.
The purpose of Science Progress is to develop exciting, progressive ideas in science and technology, and to improve the dialogue and understanding of science and technology among policymakers, scientific communities and the American public. Science Progress is led by its Editor-in-Chief, Jonathan Moreno, one of the leading thinkers in the field of bioethics, and features articles by some of the leading minds in the scientific community. Already, posts include an opening column by Google Inc. evangelist Vint Cerf, who "reflects forward" on what the launch of Sputnik 50 years ago today offers as lessons for our country today, with specific policymaking proposals. Other columns include a call for a new National Defense Education Act and four steps to boost the power of diversity in science. The site also sports a daily blog that will examine the nexus of science and technology and policymaking in the news, in scholarly journals, on Capitol Hill and in statehouses around the country. So please check Science Progress out, and by all means let us know what you think. Best regards, as always, Alan and the CAPAF advocacy team The Center for American Progress Action Fund is the sister advocacy organization of the Center for American Progress. The Action Fund transforms progressive ideas into policy through rapid response communications, legislative action, grassroots organizing and advocacy, and partnerships with other progressive leaders throughout the country and the world. The Action Fund is also the home of the Progress Report and Think Progress, the blog that pushes back daily. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.isoc-ny.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
