ANNIVERSARIES
Just over a year ago, we launched Science Progress. Our goal was to provide a forum for progressive science policy, a venue in which those concerned about the future of the country could assess the current state of science in America.
SCIENCE, CULTURED
Both presidential candidates have now answered 14 questions about science policy—but it’s not enough.
SCIENCE COMMUNICATION
Science has gotten short shrift in political campaigns for years, but new data shows that voters care more about it than politicians think.
CULTIVATING SCIENCE
The chief lessons learned from ScienceDebate2008: ignore naysayers, and never give up.
Science Progress and American Progress's Doing What Works project teamed up to produce a set of policy proposals that the Obama administration and Congress can adopt to reinvest in the building blocks of American science, innovation, and economic competitiveness. Read the overview of the five reports.
Science Progress proceeds from the propositions that scientific inquiry is among the finest expressions of human excellence, that it is a crucial source of human flourishing, a critical engine of economic growth, and must be dedicated to the common good. Scientific inquiry entails global responsibilities. It should lead to a more equitable, safer, and healthier future for all of humankind.
