Comments on some of the current circumstances of American science and speculates on ways in which those who call themselves scientists might participate more effectively in resolving the critical problems facing people and civilization. (Author/TS)

Considers that the supply of new scientists and engineers will eventually become limited by the availability of motivated and able young people. Population, enrollment, and employment projections to 1990 suggest that a shortage of graduates will occur in the 1980's. (AL)

The six-year training program has provided some success in recruiting well-qualified graduate students with scientific and technical backgrounds who can work with scientists in collecting, digesting, and synthesizing information in the sciences. (MM)

A personal experience as a member of a nuclear research team. (SE)

Many politicians have been indifferent or hostile to the application of the social sciences to social problems. Corrective steps include forging stronger links between politicians and social and behavioral scientists, expanding educational efforts to convey a better understanding of the social sciences, increasing lobbying activities, and…
