Elitism vs. Checks and Balances in Communicating Scientific Information to the Public Arthur Kantrowitz* Introduction Science New technology played a dramatic role in U.S. contributions to allied success in World War II. In many cases, e.g., atomic weapons, penicillin, radar and DDT, these technologies were based on science not applied before the war. Scientists led many of the triumphant efforts. After the war, the prestige of science was great enough that national expenditures for research grew from earlier charity levels to budgets that are now noticeable in the federal deficit. This investment led to a golden age of science-based technology that has enriched the world. It has also permanently altered science. The money was used to exponentially increase the numbers of educated scientists. It was also used to build an industry that makes scientific apparatus so powerful that, without the latest and most expensive versions, it is difficult to advance. Research careers are critically dependent on success in raising funds to support graduate students and buy equipment. The power of science to influence policy has not grown as fast as its need for funds. As funding has tightened, institutions of science have become fixated on the federal research budget. Frank Press called raising money for basic research "the most important activity I can undertake as president of the National Academy of Sciences."
