Science Matters. 🧪🔬🚀 I am alive because of science. We all benefit from science — every day. Science is in our homes, our hospitals, our streets, our work. For 80 years, science and technology have been a north star for the United States. In 1945, Vannevar Bush’s report to the president of the United States Science, The Endless Frontier called for bold government support of scientific research to drive national security, economic growth, and innovation. This vision led to the creation of the National Science Foundation and to policies ensuring the U.S. leads in science & technology. Since then, for 80 years, the government has invested in science, fueling discoveries that transformed our health, economy, and quality of life. Science is not a zero-sum game—it creates knowledge, exponential value, innovative industry, and longer better lives. From life-saving medicine, advanced diagnostics, and disease prevention to AI-driven innovation, space and deep-sea exploration, clean energy, next-generation materials, quantum computing, and precision agriculture, science continues to shape our future.
