and now, you have nothing less than national science foundation, a federal agency to the premier funderf basic researchc on college campuses that has itself been colonized by this poisonous identity politics. the national science foundation is spending billions of our taxpayer dollars funding gender theorists on college campuses to study so-called intersectionalty and microaggressions in the stem field on the assumption that the only possible explanation for why we do not have 50/50 gender parody in our engineering and math department must be about by definition result of sex schism that is diversity delusion. is the fundamental lie that we've been fed that any disparity in a representation whether it is a gender disparity or racist disparity must be result of discrimination so our stem field now are obsessed with gender -- gender equity and race are equity. >> so also is an attack as you write -- on competition. obviously, and on merit. >> it is. >>>> and so we dumb down our society we triballize our society and is our society. >> it benefits the society because let's start with the co

the national science foundation is spending billions of your taxpayer dollars on programs to boast -- boost diversity in science. .. . >> a human resources manager sued youtube for firing him because he had refused to go along with the mandate to only interview females or hispanics or blacks for engineering jobs because they were of the wrong race or gender guess who does not care about diversity metrics? china. the best thing that trump could do to level the playing field was to airlift a few cargo planes of gender theorists from american universities and dump them on beijing university in china research lab until that happens china will pull ahead in science because it cares only about one thing in the science lab accomplishment. academic identity politics is tearing our society apart teaching and people to hate to hate the greatest thinkers and creators of the past and hate their fellow americans so the diversity must we nipped in the bed the next time those occupy a office building demanding reparations hears of the college president should say are you kidding me? you are the most

is 6,000 years old, but if you think that, you shouldn't be head of nasa or head of the national science foundation or on a science committee. >> but you can be a member of congress. >> so, i'm not going to fault someone in congress for thinking any one way or another if they represent a community of people in this country. so, as an educator, i turn around and face the people in this country and i say, "if you think this is science, but it's not, then you --" it's an if-then statement -- "then you are crippling the future economic growth of your region, of your state, and ultimately, if you have more power than that, of the nation itself." because innovations in science and technology are the engines of tomorrow's economies. they've always been and they will continue to be. >> so when do you engage on the public policy? >> i can make suggestions to people. i can say, "if you do this, this will happen, and if you don't do that, that'll happen." then i go home. i don't debate people. >> you don't debate people, but you wade in to the public policy. you do wade in to the policy a little bit. >> no. >

science committee. . it presume proves our national competitiveness. the act directs the national science foundation to fund initiatives that support innovative partnerships between academic institutions and local industries. these programs combine formal education with work experiences such as apprenticeships, pairing local employers with the stem industry. this bill also requires the n.s.f. to conduct research on market analysis, innovations and american skilled technical work force. i would like to thank leader mccarthy, ranking member eddie bernice johnson and senate commerce chairman john thune for their bipartisan efforts on this bill. this act enhances america's competitiveness and critz to our future economic prosperity. i urge its support. and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlelady from oregon. ms. bonamici: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in support of h.r. 550 the innovations and mentoring, training and apresence tiesship act. i thank the majority leader for introducing this good legislation. in the interest of time i will be plac

we have done exciting things on energy, national science foundation. we adjusted their focus -- they spend $6 billion a year giving grants to individuals. individuals can be scientists, professors and others. we refocused their efforts to ake sure that money would be spent on projects that served the national interest. we are trying to focus on that also. the science committee has been exciting and i have been grateful to be on it. there is a lot to do. we will have a new chairwoman of the committee. she will be a texas colleague. steve: i wonder generally speaking in terms of our society, looking at the mercury and apollo program and the space shuttle program -- as a country, do we share the same excitement we did in the 1960's and 970's? rep. smith: people got excited about the apollo program and the 12 people that walked on the moon and we don't have anything that big and bold right now. but i have to tell you that the american people have never lost their interest in space. the american people are still looking up at the night sky and wondering wha

i like the model the national science foundation uses, which is that we are trying to train people with a set of skills that looks like a t, with vertical part of the t as deep expertise in some area in the top bar is these skills that you need to be able to connect to other areas. that is not just about making them take a mix of courses. it is about changing the way that some of the work is done in courses, in the experiential or off campus, whether internships like you guys work with thor liz: -- liz:extracurriculars. curricular's, classroom models. percent participate in research opportunities. you learn how to take directions from people, how to partner, as opposed to the model of -- we still have very strong honor codes but we change the way we talk about, it's your work, don't talk to anybody about it. talk when you are doing homework, then write it up yourself, and don't talk on the tests. it is really, it is permeating not justhe classrooms, the extracurricular activities. extend thisw do you learning and training over time? we already know technology is changing things seemingl

i like the model the national science foundation uses to talk about this which is that we're trying to train people with a set of skills that looks like a "t" for a career, where the vertical part of the "t" is deep expertise in some area and the top bar of the "t" is these skills that you need to be able to connect to other areas, right. that's not just about making them take a mix of courses. it's about changing the way that some of the work is done in courses, in the experiment learning more and more of us are doing off campuses, whether internships like you work with or whether it's -- >> extracurriculars -- >> or curriculars in the classroom models. 80 plus percent of our students participate in the undergraduate research students and in all those things you learn some of these soft skills, how to talk to people, how to take directions from people, how to partner. as opposed to the model of, we still have very strong honor codes, but we've changed the way we talk about it's your work, don't talk to anybody about it. right. there's now much clearer lines. talk when doing homework a

this setting researcher chief science officer and co-founder at sands research foundation talking about human ingenuity and which of the nation technologists welcome back from the show so some are saying. silver tsunami of aging people is set to hit the global economy by two thousand and fifty do you see any major rejuvenation solutions available by that time i will go further i would say the absolutely this rejuvenation biotechnology is the only way that we are going to keep very ageing of the population from completely crippling the global economy already we're in a hugely problematic situation of course the difficulty is that the reason why we have so many people who are. elderly now is because number one we are preventing them from dying young because we're really good now curing infectious diseases and so on but also because the the types of thing that people get sick from later in life are slowly progressive chronic problem so people don't die out once the way they do from typical infections will continue to go gradually sicker and sicker and sicker and more and more expensive over time and so if everyone is doing that
