Three broad lessons from my recent research:
- R&D coordination failures across institutions and countries – particularly Northeast Asia – have implications for public health, the economy, and the dissemination of R&D.
- Public understanding about energy and S&T has been politicized to the point that it hinders widespread public agreement and effective policymaking.
- The use of social media by our elected officials, the media, and the general public confirms that social media determines newsworthy content and, in turn, what will likely be on the policy agenda.
