But, unlike AIDS, "TB has never summoned the political will, financial investment, and scientific energy equal to its outsized toll on human health and well-being," contends a new TB report from the Treatment Action Group, a New York City based nonprofit that grew out of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (better known as ACT UP).
We need to make sure that American researchers and engineers have access to the supercomputers and other technological tools they need to help solve the great scientific, energy, environment, and security challenges of our time.
He went on to argue that the scientific community was playing into a wrong headed R&D policy which maybe offered them more money, but only if they pushed their activities to help the so-called free market (which really wasn't so free, and focused scientific energies to some very choice industries).
Today, he still combines his interests in language and science, teaching courses in scientific communication, energy policy, and other subjects at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies of the University of Washington in Seattle, while also writing books.
The lab's 19 user facilities sit on a 58-square-mile campus and serve six main scientific areas: energy, neutron science, high-performance supercomputing, complex biological systems, material science, and national security.
In a 25 November letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D NV), the Energy Sciences Coalition, an alliance of science, university, and industry groups, urged Kastner's confirmation, calling the move "vital to the direction and oversight of the important scientific and energy research".
The money is going to young scientists doing basic research in six major areas covered by DOE's Office of Science: advanced scientific computing, basic energy sciences, biological and environmental research, fusion energy sciences, high energy physics, and nuclear physics.
Despite their scientific importance, medium-energy electrons occur in an energy range gap between low-energy plasma sensors and high-energy particle detectors.
According to the November 2009 cover story in Scientific American, global energy use is less than 15 Terawatts, while the amount of solar energy we get every year is a whopping 6,500 Terawatts.
The center, with $12.5 million in federal funding, is one of 31 Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) being set up by DOE's Office of Science at leading universities, for advanced scientific research on energy.
"We hope to draw on works of all kinds with intellectual, scientific and imaginative energy and clarity".
