Article Abstract:
Research has largely been neglected by society because of the negative images which have been attached to it such as frivolity and short-term profits. Many believe that society's preoccupation with politics and economics has alienated research from the majority. Others say that scholars are also to blame for the unpopularity of and lack of support to research. Instead of sharing the information with their fellow researchers and with society, scholars have kept their researches to themselves.

Restructure environmental R&D
Article Abstract:
Federal funding of environmental R&D is expected to decline by 20%-40% for the next seven years. The utilization of federal funds should be maximized by focusing on important environmental research programs. Furthermore, the similar programs from the EPA and Dept. of Energy (DOE) should be merged into one environmental research project to reduce the costs of research. Furthermore, the merging of DOE and EPA will reduce government funding of environmental research.

Mother ocean
Article Abstract:
The move to protect the oceans must start immediately. These bodies of water provide more than psychological nurturing and reassurance during troubled times. These resources are crucial for the nourishment and sustenance of life. With this realization, it is quite bothersome to note that catches of fishes are very low, that some of these aquatic specimens pose health hazards and most of the coral reefs are gone.
