The chances of Israeli science competing with big American science are small. For almost 15 years, we had no competition.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The State of Israel must be at the forefront of global science - in physics, in mathematics, in medicine, in biology.
For Israel to retain its amazing position as the largest concentration of high tech after Silicon Valley, we need more engineers and mathematicians. We have too many lawyers.
Israel now has a reputation around the world of being not just a place to develop products and technology but to develop ideas.
I've been impressed, obviously, with what Israel has done over the years, as it related to technology, agriculture, research in general.
Even before Sputnik, scientists and policy makers worried that not enough Americans were studying science.
After all, science is essentially international, and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
The frontiers of science, on the very small scale and very large scale, require large investments and international effort.
Science is international: the best scientists can come from anywhere; they can come from next door, or they can come from a small village in a country anywhere in the world - we need to make it easier.
Our society, the dominant culture doesn't like science. It doesn't like technology.
Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.
