Dear Colleagues:

NSF Releases Latest Science and Engineering Indicators Report:

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has released its latest version of the biennial collection of facts and figures on science and engineering education and careers in the US. The 2014 edition describes in detail the state of science in the US and the country's relative ranking among global competitors. It draws from surveys conducted by NSF or work that it has funded, as well as data from other sources vetted by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES). The report notes continued scientific progress by China and other Asian nations as measured by a number of indices, from high-tech manufacturing to research spending to training the next generation of scientists and engineers. "The longstanding dominance of the United States continues to erode," said Dan Arvizu, chair of the National Science Board, of the report and its findings. "Other countries have been building up their research capacity very rapidly, and this report shows how fast this new world is arriving." The report boasts 600 pages of text and graphics and a 939-page appendix of tables. It is available at http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind14/<http://members.cur.org/members_online/utilities/emailct.asp?1e8fcb22f8ae906db4b457d64161b69db30e3926834fbde8636abbadf2c9252d97bbf1bcfcd6827d>.
