Sciencedebate 2008 is a self-described "concerned citizens initiative" which is calling for a U.S. presidential debate on science and technology. The effort is co-sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the Council
on Competitiveness (Compete.org), the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the National
Academy of Engineering (NAE), and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.
What Does Sciencedebate 2008 Want?
The following is from Sciencedebate.com.
"Given the many urgent scientific and technological challenges facing
America and the rest of the world, the increasing need for accurate
scientific information in political decision making, and the vital role
scientific innovation plays in spurring economic growth and
competitiveness, we call for a public debate in which the U.S.
presidential candidates share their views on the issues of The
Environment, Health and Medicine, and Science and Technology Policy."
