Science In China

When we talk about international science, China doesn't often come to mind. But perhaps it should. At a time when their economy is booming and many western-trained scientists are returning to China, officials are committing more money to research and development efforts. In this hour of Science Friday, we'll take a look at China's science goals, and what scientists in the US are doing to contribute.

Guests:
Rita Colwell
President
University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute
College Park, Maryland

Bai Lu
Chief
Unit of Synapse Development and Plasticity
National Institutes of Health
Bethesda, Maryland

Arthur Fisher
Science Editor Emeritus
