In a highly competitive global S&E environment, the U.S. must stay on the leading edge of the practice of S&E. As we face greater international competition, we must speed the movement of research from the laboratory to product. We also need to be more strategic about investments, embrace new research tools and modalities, foster an inclusive and ethical S&E enterprise, and welcome--as well as capitalize on--the globalization of S&E. In the process, we must preserve what works well in our system while also being open to change and new possibilities. #NSBvision

The National Science Board (NSB)'s new report, "Science and Technology: Public Attitudes, Knowledge, and Interest" shows Americans continue to value science. Confidence in leaders of the scientific community has been relatively stable over the last several decades, and was 44% in 2018, second only to that for military leaders. Even before the current #covid19 crisis, most Americans have consistently supported federal funding of scientific research and believe that this research is beneficial. These and other data are available in the report. Click here for the news release: https://www.nsf.gov/nsb/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=300607 #SEIndicators2020
Just released, the "Science and Technology: Public Attitudes, Knowledge, and Interest" #SEIndicators2020 report presents indicators about people’s attitudes toward issues related to S&T, awareness of basic S&T facts, and how people interact with science. As in past editions of Science and Engineering Indicators, this 2020 thematic report shows that most Americans hold positive beliefs about the benefits of S&T, have relatively high confidence in the scientific community compared with other groups, and believe that scientists are seeking to improve society.

What is #SEIndicators2020?
Science and Engineering Indicators (Indicators) provides high-quality quantitative information on the U.S. and international science and engineering (S&E) enterprise. Indicators consists of detailed thematic or focus area reports, a state data tool, and a congressionally mandated report delivered biennially to the President and Congress that highlights important trends from across the focus areas. Indicators reports employ a variety of presentation styles—such as narrative text, data tables, and figures—to provide accessible data to consumers with different information needs.
Click for more: https://ncses.nsf.gov/indicators/about
Ready access to accurate and timely state-level information is an important tool for formulating effective science and technology (S&T) policies at both the state and national levels. By studying the performance of their peers, state policymakers may be better able to assess their own programs and performance. In addition, data on variations in state S&T activities may alert national policymakers to variations in state and regional needs and circumstances. Corporations and other organizations considering investments at the state level may also benefit from this information. To address the interest of these communities in the role of S&T in state and regional economic development, the Science and Engineering Indicators State Indicators data tool presents findings on state trends in S&T education, employed workforce, R&D, patents and publications, and knowledge-intensive industries.
The State Indicators data tool includes 60 principal indicators for the United States, individual states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico (when available). The data used to calculate the indicators are gathered from public and private sources. Beginning with Science and Engineering Indicators 2018, the State Indicators data tool will be updated periodically in between the biennial Science and Engineering Indicators release as new data become available. Find the tool here: https://ncses.nsf.gov/indicators/states
