- President Obama speaks at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences. Obama pledges a major investment in science and technology, and announces what he called "the largest commitment to scientific research and innovation in American history." He hopes to devote more than three percent of the nation's gross domestic product to research and development, saying the United States would exceed levels achieved at the height of the "Space Race," which included U.S. astronauts landing on the moon in 1969. He also announces a renewed commitment to education in math and science, saying students' scores in those subjects will improve over the next decade so they can better compete internationally. Obama speaks to the H1N1 swine flu crisis saying it is, "a cause for concern" but "not a cause for alarm."
