Then it occurred to us — the New York Academy of Sciences has the World's Smartest Network®, why not put the question to our Members?So we invited some of our most extraordinary young and senior scientist Members, to offer their thoughts about what they believe could be the next generation of discoveries or the greatest challenge that science or technology must solve in the decades to come. The following is a selection of the many responses we received. They have been edited to fit space restrictions.
