Dear Editor:
Science, technology and innovation matter to everyone!
Sixty-one Nobel laureates in science just announced their support of Barack Obama for president. They know how much science matters; and they know that Obama’s science and technology policies are an essential component of any plans to change our direction as a nation and address our critical problems in energy, medicine, climate change, security and economic competitiveness.
We, UW-Madison physics professors emeriti, have watched with great concern the loss of industrial jobs throughout Wisconsin, and the resulting growth of our economic problems.
