| President Obama has pledged to re-emphasize science and technology in America -- but can the administration deliver on that pledge, especially when faced with war and a beleaguered economy? In this hour, Ira talks with John Holdren, the president's chief science adviser, about the administration's strategy for supporting research in the US, addressing climate change, and the road ahead for NASA. |
