Letter to the Editor Memphis Flyer (September 18, 2008)
http://www.memphisflyer.com/memphis/Content?oid=oid%3A48965 Debate Science Let the American people hear a debate from both parties on science, engineering, and technology. According to the Sciencedebate2008 website, voters want public policy issues to be based on science, and 85 percent of Americans want presidential candidates to debate science issues. Given the many urgent scientific and technological challenges facing America and the rest of the world, the increasing need for accurate scientific information in political decision making, and the vital role scientific innovation plays in spurring economic growth and competitiveness, we call for a public debate in which the U.S. presidential candidates share their views on the issues of the environment, health and medicine, and science and technology policy. This is where we need "straight talk" and a clear "change" from the current state of affairs, not just a debate like the one that took place last month at a Christian church moderated by a pastor.
