“MIT President Hilariously Dives into the Gravity of American Research on GBH’s Boston Public Radio: This is Science!”
““This is science!” – MIT president talks about the importance of America’s research enterprise on GBH’s Boston Public Radio”
“In a meeting held at a local public school, MIT President Susan Hockfield stated her belief that America must continue investing in its scientific research enterprises to maintain a competitive edge. Hockfield also emphasized the importance of nurturing students’ interest in science to help secure the country’s future in fields such as clean energy and biotechnology.”
As the scales shift globally and research powerhouses spring up in every corner of the planet, it seems our esteemed MIT President, Susan Hockfield, has decided to play her part in keeping America from getting knocked off the innovation pedestal.
Wasn’t it endearing how she used the venue of an ordinary school to share her concerns? And those concerns are justified, too. She insists that America must not scrimp on its scientific research investment if it wants to enjoy its Sunday brunch of global dominance. Consider it a little pep talk to the land of Uncle Sam, encouraging it to pump up the volume when it comes to scientific research.
And dear Hockfield didn’t forget the kids either. Oh no! She reminded us that the zealous interest of our students in science and research is not just their ticket to the nerd club, but it’s also critical to secure the country’s future. So, let’s hear a cheer for science, kids! Who knows, we can be spearheading the clean energy and biotechnology fields before you know it.
So, that’s Hockfield’s two cents. Stay on top, America, with excellent research and passionate young scientists. Keep coding, keep experimenting, and especially, keep discovering. The future is indeed tech!
