Millennial Biology: The National Science Foundation and American Biology, 1975-2005
National Science Foundation (NSF) is a unique federal agency because it supports scientific research financially, but does not engage in scientific work itself.

It examines important events in the earlier history of the Foundation because they play strongly upon the development of the various biology directorates. Issues such as education, applied research, medical science, the National Institutes of Health, the beginnings of biotechnology, and other matters are also discussed.

In addition to suffrage, delegates from these states banned child labor, curbed the power of railroads and grain monopolies, mandated state ownership of running water, opened voting eligibility, and created state-owned banks. These states, the “89ers,” as Samuel Western calls them, exhibited a spirit of commonwea...
