David Goodstein on politics in science

David Goodstein, vice-provost at Caltech, has an article about the decline of science entitled "The Big Crunch." Besides saying that science is no longer a booming industry, he says that we need to find a new political/social structure to manage science. Since I'm in my PhD program now, I guess I'll be involved in making that new system.

Goodstein has an entire collection of writing at his personal website.
