Obama taps Google boss for science panel

The commitment from the President in dealing with scientific research and technological investment is something that we could benefit from given the people who has advise him on the next moves for America. I am not sure that funding is the only way for us to meet the demands that occur with our ever changing world, but it is something that can help us if utilized properly. Scientific improvement in the health care industry are things we need to accomplish moving forward. With the recent restrictions on stem cell research being lifted, we have a chance to make some major breakthroughs for healing individuals. In addition to health care, the technology sector can always be improved. Google, Microsoft, and MIT seem like the right partners to be teaming up with because of their consistent innovation and success in generating programs for the public. With the decline people majoring in fields like math and science, this may just be the incentive that people need to start focusing back in those sectors. The promise for growth is something that we cannot ignore even during our economic situation right now because we will end up recovering and when that happens, we will be better prepared to deal with the future due to this commitment.
