[quote spearmint]Says Hillary: "upgrade our innovation infrastructure."
Gimme a break. Talk about lame campaign promises.
Actually, that's one the things I found the most interesting. Our infrastructure IS really lacking. People who do research know what I'm talking about-- there's a lack of understanding on the part of people who don't do it of what's really required to do good research... that it isn't just a matter of pumping in dollars (though that's required too)-- people need time, they need not to have to worry about funding every second, they need better career support, especially at lower levels, etc.
