White House report says Trump can usher in a "new golden age" of science
The resulting report is a near-random mixture of grievances and real problems.
The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) has published a report titled "Science: A New Golden Age," outlining their vision for the future of science. This report marks a shift from the previous policy document "Science, the Endless Frontier," which advocated for government-funded scientific research post-World War II.
The new report suggests that while the core principles of these original documents are still relevant, government implementation requires significant revisions. The report does not delve into the various ways the Trump administration has attempted to undermine scientific progress, instead focusing on issues already recognized within the scientific community.
The report also combines political grievances, ideas lacking solid intellectual foundation, and incorporates insights from Silicon Valley's innovative perspective. This unique blend of elements is unlikely to yield the same impact as the original "Science, the Endless Frontier."
