Stanley Williams, Hewlett-Packard "Filling slots for undergraduate biological sciences has been likened to fishing with a net: one simply scoops them up. In the physical sciences- including materials sciencerecruiting undergraduate majors is much harder, more like fly fishing for one fish at a time."

For example, most new Department of Defense research is interdisciplinary, with both nano- and biomaterials playing a major role. The congressional staff attending the workshop reminded the participants that members of Congress are interested in striking the appropriate funcling balance not only between different scientific fielcIs or disciplines, but also between basic anal applied research and between core programs and special initiatives (past funding trends for several fields are shown in Figure 4-21.
