Pelosi To Highlight Stimulus-Funded R&D
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is scheduled to appear at an event Tuesday to highlight the research and other scientific activities funded by the economic stimulus package enacted earlier this year to help jump start the economy. Pelosi will be on hand as the Association of American Universities, the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities, and the Science Coalition launch a new initiative called ScienceWorksForUs and Web site (www.scienceworksforus.org) that beginning Tuesday will highlight research in all 50 states that is being funded by the stimulus package. The stimulus included more than $21 billion for scientific research and development, the purchase of scientific equipment, and science-related construction, according to the groups. Rep. Rush Holt, D-N.J., a physics researcher before being elected to Congress, and several academic officials also will be at the Capitol Hill event, according to a news release.
