Strategic investments in Everglades research will increase the chances of reaching restoration goals while reducing overall costs. http://www.national-academies.org/topnews/#tn1218 The federal government must revise current visa restrictions for foreign scientists, engineers and qualified students if the United States is to maintain the vitality and quality of its research, said the presidents of the National Academies in a statement last week. "Recent efforts by our government to constrain the flow of international visitors in the name of national security are having serious unintended consequences for American science, engineering and medicine," they said. "We ask the Department of State and its consular officials to recognize that, in addition to their paramount responsibility to deny visas to potential terrorists, the long-term security of the United States depends on admitting scholars who benefit our nation." http://www.national-academies.org/topnews/#tn1213 Could current publication practices in the life sciences inadvertently lead to disclosure of sensitive information, threatening national security? On Thursday, Jan. 9, the National Academies and the Center for Strategic and International Studies will host a public discussion between scientists and policy-makers on ways to strike a balance between scientific openness and national security needs. The discussion will include an overview of methods for controlling scientific information in the United States and current bioterrorist threats to the nation.
