IEEE-USA President Russ Lefevre said at a conference in Minnesota this week that the next Administration needs to make investment in science, engineering and technology a priority.

“Everybody supports science, motherhood and apple pie, but when it comes to funding, it’s a different story,” Lefevre said during a Q&A session.
Lefevre said particular focus needs to be put on energy advances.
