Kevin Pitts: Our national investment in science , redirectWhen it comes to science research, the link between investment and outcome is sometimes just as clear as that bridge. At Virginia Tech, our scientists are predicting water quality in lakes and reservoirs; this helps municipal water agencies know how to treat the water to keep it safe. We are developing new types of antibiotics to combat drug-resistant infections. We are discovering how infectious diseases migrate and spread. We are gaining understanding of the neurological basis for autism.
