“No one can predict the issues that science and society will consider
most pressing in the decades to come. But if we look at some high priority issues
of today—world hunger, biomedical ethics, sustainable resources, homeland
security, and child development and learning - and pressing research questions,
such as the evolution of virulence in pathogens and the relationship between
biodiversity and ecosystems functions, we can predict that those of the future will
be so complex as to require the insights from multiple disciplines”
