How many astronomers will it take to change a light bulb 10 years from now? Answer: all three of them. The way the job market and federal budget are heading, this may be no joke. As researchers grope, schools are leaving thousands of kids in the dark about science and its significance for their lives. What can astronomers do today to ensure a brighter tomorrow?
Mercury has asked 12 leading astronomers for their thoughts on some of the most important issues facing the discipline. Several common themes have emerged: Astronomers and their institutions must remain flexible to respond to scientific and political change; they must justify their share of public funds honestly and directly; and they must strengthen their connections with each other, be they researchers, amateurs, or educators.
