Writing an op-ed feels a lot like driving through a tunnel. You travel in a direct line and focus on only one destination. This is because an op-ed is often 650 words or less, leaving little room for excursions beyond the main point. The downside to having this singular focus is that you sometimes miss important parts of a story – not only in what you write down but also in how you think and gather information about a topic. This happened to me last Friday, when Newsday published a piece of mine called “U.S. should hail young scientists.” The piece was motivated by a recent UNESCO report on the state of science around the world. The report found that in light of the recent economic downturn, traditional powerhouses have slowed their investments in education and R&D. Emerging economies have taken advantage of the situation. They have increased their level of R&D investment and been able create new opportunities for technological advancement. This imbalanced activity is putting US prowess in peril. UNESCO found, for example, that China is overtaking the U.S. and Europe in terms of number of working scientists and science PhDs. My article began with the statement: “Long Island is on the front lines of keeping America technologically competitive.” I talked about 3 recent winners of the national Siemens Competition in math, science and technology who were Long Island high school students and cited the history of science fair winners in some Long Island schools. In the 2010 Intel science fair (which is the largest and most competitive pre-college science competition in the world), about 20% of the semi-finalists were Long Island students. In the article I also talked about two Garden City educators whose are being recognized for their work to teach chemistry to special education students. The point of the article was meant to be a positive one. We often hear about the US losing the science and technological race to places like China and India. In our alarm, it is easy to overlook the fact that mentors, educators, parents and students themselves are putting out great effort and achieving a lot on the local level to create the young scientists of...
