MIT featured on Science Coalition web site

MIT was the featured university on the Science Coalition home page last week.

MIT's "On Campus" page poses questions of national importance to the future of science which MIT faculty and administrators are seeking to answer. There is also a link to MIT Research Digest, a monthly MIT News Office publication of Institute research summaries.

The Science Coalition, which MIT and Harvard helped found, is an organization whose mission is to sustain the federal government's historic commitment to university-based science research. It is an alliance of 413 organizations, institutions and individuals including Nobel laureates, businesses, nonprofit health organizations, medical groups, health care providers, scientific societies and 60 public and private universities.

A version of this article appeared in MIT Tech Talk on December 17, 1997.
