Glauben die Amerikaner, dass das Land in der Wissenschaft an Boden verliert oder gewinnt? Sowohl Demokraten als auch Republikaner halten es für wichtig, dass die USA weltweit führend in der Wissenschaft sind, doch die meisten Demokraten meinen, dass sie im Vergleich zu anderen Ländern an Boden verlieren
Do Americans Think the Country Is Losing or Gaining Ground in Science?

The future of science will likely be written in Chinese. Look at the authors names on any scientific paper on a cutting edge topic.
Trump gutted research funding and fired a ton of scientists.
Some of those scientists left for other countries.
Yeah, the US is failing in scientific research.
Third world countries relying on innovation for literally everything, first world countries the sun isn’t real and we have to keep coal miners in business.
In order to have science advancement, first one needs to have scientists.
Scientists do not come fully formed out of the womb; instead they are trained at these things called schools. Schools provide this thing called ‘education’.
One of the political parties in the US (guess which one??) has been attempting to devalue education and replace it with folk stories from a 2000 year old book.
From memory, the book they like was written by folks without an adequate science education so there won’t be a lot to learn about science from the one book that is acceptable to teach.
I’m not sure how you grow more scientists without teaching science, but at least the 10 commandments will be on a sign. /s
I remember during the George W Bush administration discussions about global warming, whether or not it’s real and if we should be investing in alternative energy technologies like solar panels.
Well who dominates the solar panel industry now?
We are cutting funding to a variety of technologies and catering to pseudoscience. If we’re not losing ground already, we will be. I’m sure there will be a the occasional shiny new trinket we can point to and go „we invented that“ but America will lose its place as a leader of scientific advancement. Even the private sector will see a decline with higher education becoming more exclusive, arbitrary limitations put in place to fit agendas and a decrease in the number of people able to afford the new stuff.
Now? Only now?
The US has been loosing ground for decades.
People are delusional.
Scientists are leaving the US.
Mastery of science implies a solid education system. The US education system has been systematically destroyed over my lifetime.
It takes two generations for the damage to become apparent. And that’s now
We’ve defunded so much research and are arresting people here legally for research purposes… we are def losing ground. Fast. And China is making it clear they will welcome the researcher and researchers we reject.
You’re going to have to direct me to these conservatives who “think it’s important that the US is a world leader in science.” I’ve not seen one in a couple decades now.
And Dems don’t “think” we’re losing ground. The Trump administration’s actions against education, science, and research can have only one result, which is the loss of our previous status in those realms.
