The Ottawa Citizen offers an editorial on the National Research Council, one I'm sure was closely read in our offices. "(Nobel prize winner Michael) Polanyi warned the NRC against concentrating too much on industrial work at the expense of pure science. 'The NRC laboratories have the valuable function of bridging the gap between academe and industry. My fear ... is that the NRC's bridge will get weaker,'"... the concerns expressed by Polanyi are important. If, as part of an effort to better support industry, the NRC undermines some of what has made it such an important organization, any gains from this new direction will come at a greater long-term cost."
