Science for the 21st Century

Our universities are a tremendous engine for producing and selecting new generations of talented young scientists and engineers. However, in the mind of Bruce Alberts, editor-in-chief of Science magazine, there is an urgent need to expose all students to a much wider range of opportunities for their research, including work on critical problems that affect the 80 percent of the world's population who live in developing nations. He discusses science education as an exciting and empowering experience in problem-solving that takes advantage of the curiosity in children and increases their understanding of the world.

For this reason,(before the FTC opened the gates),the U.S. was a leader in intellectual property.
