Want to get teens interested in math and science? Target their parents :: (Association for Psychological Science) Increasing the number of students interested in science, technology, engineering, and math - the STEM disciplines - is vital to national competitiveness in the global economy and to the development of a strong workforce.

With food safety bill, U.S. government will spend nearly $1 million per person to prevent food-borne illness deaths :: (NaturalNews) The recently-passed Food Safety Modernization Act, which was passed in order to prevent food-borne illness deaths in the USA, will cost $1.4 billion over the first five years. But nobody thinks about the economics of the issue.
