The United States urgently needs science-based solutions for a multitude of policy issues, and a basic societal understanding of science is essential to gaining public trust and addressing these issues. However, there is a disconnect between professional scientists and engineers and K-12 science education. Many students will graduate after 13 years of school having never met a scientist. This missed opportunity is not an issue of supply. There are over 7 million practicing scientists and engineers in the U.S.; if every scientist spent just one hour a year in a classroom, each student would get at least three visits from a scientist every single year. Here, we propose the Federal Science Project: a federally funded, nationwide program to bring scientists into all K-12 schools across the U.S. with the goal of reaching every student, regardless of geographic location. Scientists and engineers across disciplines and sectors would undergo training in communication skills and cultural competency, connect with classrooms via a national database with support from full-time staff, partner with teachers to deliver interactive lessons aligned with existing curriculum and standards, and receive appropriate compensation. Close partnerships between scientists, engineers, teachers, policymakers, and community partners in science education (science centers, museums, etc.) would invigorate the trust-based connections needed for 21st-century science education and policy transformations.
美国迫切需要以科学为基础的解决方案来解决许多政策问题,而对科学的基本社会理解对于获得公众信任和解决这些问题至关重要。然而,专业科学家和工程师与K-12科学教育之间存在脱节。许多学生在13年的学校生活后毕业时从未见过科学家。这个错失的机会不是供应的问题。美国有700多万在职科学家和工程师;如果每个科学家每年只在教室里呆一个小时,那么每个学生每年至少会得到三次科学家的拜访。在这里,我们提出了联邦科学项目:一个由联邦政府资助的全国性项目,将科学家带到美国所有的K-12学校,目标是接触到每一个学生,无论地理位置如何。各学科和部门的科学家和工程师将接受沟通技巧和文化能力方面的培训,在全职工作人员的支持下,通过国家数据库与教室联系,与教师合作,提供符合现有课程和标准的互动课程,并获得适当的补偿。科学家、工程师、教师、政策制定者和科学教育社区合作伙伴(科学中心、博物馆等)之间的密切伙伴关系将激发21世纪科学教育和政策转型所需的基于信任的联系。

Η τρέχουσα προκατάληψη στην ακαδημία γύρω από τα λεγόμενα γνωστικά αντικείμενα STEM (Φυσικές Επιστήμες, Τεχνολογία, Πολυτεχνικές Επιστήμες, Μαθηματικά) ευνοεί τις αγγλικές ερευνητικές δημοσιεύσεις, δημιουργώντας ένα εμπόδιο μεταξύ Αγγλόφωνων και μη-Αγγλόφωνων ερευνητών που είναι επιζήμιο για τη συνέχεια και την εξέλιξη της έρευνας STEM. Σε αυτό το έγγραφο, παρουσιάζουμε μέτρα πολιτικής που χρησιμοποιούν κυβερνητικούς πόρους των ΗΠΑ για τη δημιουργία υποδομής που τυποποιεί και διευκολύνει τη διαδικασία μετάφρασης γλωσσών και τη φιλοξενία πολυγλωσσικών δημοσιεύσεων. Η πρόταση που κάνουμε σε αυτό το κείμενο στοχεύει στην αύξηση της γλωσσικής ποικιλομορφίας στις ακαδημαϊκές εκδόσεις STEM με απώτερο σκοπό τη βελτίωση της παγκόσμιας επιστημονικής επικοινωνίας και τη βελτίωση της υπάρχουσας ανισότητας μεταξύ Αγγλόφωνης και μη-Αγγλόφωνης βιβλιογραφίας STEM.

While many of the original recommendations of Vannevar Bush’s Science—The Endless Frontier report were implemented with great success in the twentieth century, the benefits of scientific innovation have not been fully realized in all corners of the United States. In particular, rural America persistently lags behind other locales in terms of scientific investment and economic development. In the coming decades, more place-conscious science policy will be needed to provide equal opportunities—and equal benefits—to all. This article highlights some of the current challenges relevant to science policy that are faced by rural America, with a specific emphasis on educational policy. The author offers recommendations for a more geographically inclusive science policy agenda and contends that rural equity should be a key priority for science policymakers in the United States.
虽然范内瓦尔·布什的《科学——无尽的边疆》报告中的许多最初建议在20世纪得到了巨大成功的实施,但科学创新的好处并没有在美国的各个角落得到充分实现。特别是,美国农村地区在科学投资和经济发展方面一直落后于其他地区。在未来的几十年里,将需要更多有地方意识的科学政策来为所有人提供平等的机会和平等的利益。这篇文章强调了当前美国农村面临的一些与科学政策相关的挑战,特别强调了教育政策。作者提出了一个更具地理包容性的科学政策议程的建议,并认为农村公平应该是美国科学政策制定者的一个关键优先事项。

Undoing the Double-Cross: Promoting Public Accountability in American Science Agencies 解除两面派:促进美国科学机构的公共责任
Pub Date : 2021-08-30 DOI: 10.38126/jspg180301

The leadership and advisory boards of American science agencies are largely organized according to the ideas set forth by an influential scientist, Dr. Vannevar Bush, after World War II. Although American science agencies are publicly funded, only experts control what research is funded and how each agency operates. Wielding his unique position of power after the war, Dr. Vannevar Bush suppressed the ideas of his adversary, Senator Harley Kilgore, resulting in the absence of public accountability and citizen input that defines American science agencies today. We argue that citizens must have a seat at the table in the leadership of science agencies to promote trust in science, reduce inequity, increase efficiency, embrace democratic principles, and address the needs of the American people. By providing a mechanism for non-expert citizens to influence the direction of American science agencies, Congress can now finally rectify the double-cross of Senator Harley Kilgore by Dr. Vannevar Bush.
美国科学机构的领导和顾问委员会在很大程度上是根据一位有影响力的科学家Vannevar Bush博士在第二次世界大战后提出的观点组织起来的。虽然美国的科学机构是公共资助的,但只有专家才能控制资助的研究和每个机构的运作方式。战后,范尼瓦尔·布什博士利用他独特的权力地位,压制了他的对手、参议员哈利·基尔戈(Harley Kilgore)的想法,导致公共问责制和公民参与的缺失,而这正是当今美国科学机构的特点。我们认为,公民必须在科学机构的领导层中占有一席之地,以促进对科学的信任,减少不平等,提高效率,接受民主原则,并解决美国人民的需求。通过为非专家公民提供一种影响美国科学机构方向的机制,国会现在终于可以纠正Vannevar Bush博士对参议员Harley Kilgore的双重欺骗。

Le parti pris actuel de l'académie STEM (science technologie ingénierie et mathématique) favorise les publications de recherche en anglais, créant une barrière entre les chercheurs anglophones et non anglophones qui nuit à la continuité et à l'évolution de la recherche STEM. Dans cet article, nous présentons des mesures politiques qui utilisent les ressources du gouvernement américain pour créer une infrastructure qui normalise et facilite le processus de traduction linguistique et l'hébergement de publications multilingues. Cette proposition vise à accroître la diversité linguistique dans les publications académiques STEM dans le but ultime d'améliorer la communication scientifique mondiale et d'améliorer la disparité existante entre la littérature STEM anglaise et non anglaise.

Investing in International Graduate Students for the Scientific Endeavour Keeps the United States Competitive 为科学事业投资国际研究生使美国保持竞争力

As the global scientific and engineering powerhouse, the United States has pioneered numerous inventions such as the telephone, alternating current, radio broadcasting, and controlled nuclear chain reactions. Some may be surprised to find that these were products of immigrants, who pushed the boundaries of science and technology. In the past years, however, the U.S. has been losing its competitive advantage in the global labor market. A key reason for this is that the U.S. is failing to attract and retain international graduate students in STEM fields. Historically, a large portion of these students stayed after graduation and drove innovations that fueled the nation’s trillion-dollar economy. That trend is changing, with many now opting to go elsewhere for their graduate education. Critical flaws in U.S. visa and immigration policy and a lack of federal funding mechanisms for international graduate students are exacerbating this trend. As a result, the U.S. is losing promising junior scientists to other countries with more aggressive foreign recruitment strategies. To counter this trend, we outline in detail the areas with room for growth and propose policy solutions to be implemented by the federal government. These solutions will help the U.S. excel in STEM research workforce diversity, equality, cultural competence, and ultimately, retain its global leadership.
作为全球科学和工程强国,美国率先发明了许多发明,如电话、交流电、无线电广播和可控的核链式反应。有些人可能会惊讶地发现,这些都是移民的产品,他们推动了科学和技术的界限。然而,在过去几年里,美国在全球劳动力市场上的竞争优势一直在丧失。造成这种情况的一个关键原因是美国未能吸引和留住STEM领域的国际研究生。从历史上看,这些学生中的很大一部分在毕业后留在了美国,并推动了创新,推动了美国万亿美元的经济增长。这一趋势正在改变,许多人现在选择去其他地方接受研究生教育。美国签证和移民政策的严重缺陷,以及缺乏针对国际研究生的联邦资助机制,加剧了这一趋势。因此,美国正在把有前途的年轻科学家流失到其他采取更积极的外国招聘策略的国家。为了应对这一趋势,我们详细概述了有增长空间的领域,并提出了联邦政府将实施的政策解决方案。这些解决方案将帮助美国在STEM研究人员的多样性、平等性、文化能力方面脱颖而出,并最终保持其全球领导地位。

The current bias in the STEM academy favors English-language research publications, creating a barrier between English-speaking and non-English speaking researchers that is detrimental to the continuity and evolution of STEM research. In this paper, we lay out policy measures that employ U.S. government resources to create infrastructure that standardizes and facilitates the language translation process and hosting of multilingual publications. This proposal aims to increase linguistic diversity in academic STEM publications for the ultimate goal of improving global scientific communication and ameliorating the existing disparity between English and non-English STEM literature.

As extreme weather events become more common in the United States due to the worsening effects of climate change, access to utilities like electricity and water will be continually strained. Blackouts and intermittent utility interruptions impact low-income and communities of color most negatively. While renewable energy technologies promise alleviation of emissions and pollution, high cost and a lack of equitable energy infrastructure make it harder for low-income and communities of color to access renewable energy benefits. I propose a series of policies to address the cost barriers of renewable energy, improve reliability and access to power grids, and standardize household weatherization for people from all communities.
由于气候变化的影响日益恶化,极端天气事件在美国变得越来越常见,电力和水等公用事业的供应将继续紧张。停电和间歇性公用事业中断对低收入和有色人种社区的影响最大。虽然可再生能源技术有望减少排放和污染,但高成本和缺乏公平的能源基础设施使低收入者和有色人种社区更难获得可再生能源的好处。我提出了一系列政策,以解决可再生能源的成本障碍,提高电网的可靠性和可及性,并为所有社区的人们规范家庭天气。
