On Friday PBS NewsHour ran this story on us.Then today, the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine joined AAAS and the Council on Competitiveness as official cosponsors of Science Debate 2008. Together we now comprise a large portion of the American science and technology community. 64 leading universities and big-name organizations have now officially signed on.
We now have an exceptionally attractive location and a date and we hope to be inviting the candidates late this week.
We need your help to make that invitation as compelling as possible:
- Please recruit every prominent leader you know to join this important initiative in the next two days. Have them click here
- Please recruit every institution, corporation or organization you can get to to join this important initiative in the next two days. Have them mention it as an organizational endorsement.
- Keep track of our growing list of signers here:
and here.
This is it, folks. We need you. Thanks for being a part of this historic and important initiative. Finally, please consider making an online donation here.

PS: if you live in a state that caucuses this Tuesday, please consider presenting this nonpartisan resolution calling for the debate.
Like Don Kennedy, I care about how the next President of the United States will make decisions about climate change, how (s)he will choose scientific advisers, and how (s)he make decisions about regulation of genetically modified or cloned organisms.
Please join in and support ScienceDebate2008.
