A new report released by the RAND Corporation Thursday found that the U.S. has maintained its lead in the science and technology arena. The study was co-authored by Titus Galama, a management scientist at RAND, and James Hosek, a RAND senior economist. “The way this project began was that we looked at congressional testimony, expert opinions, the popular press to get a sense of what experts as well as what the general perception of the public in the United States [was] about science and technology,” Galama told TechNewsWorld.
