It is helpful to keep up with the news on science direction and what we can expect form new presidents. It appears a pretty solid team of leading scientists have been assembled. I can agree that our nation will need to jump two feet forward into science to foster economic (innovation) and environmental (i.e. climate control) adaptation. New knowledge leads to new insight and new courses of action. If we can't see it then we cant hit the target.
While the video didn't necessarily discuss this idea we are loosing our competitive edge with China. China is near equal to the U.S. in patents and scientific publications. On the U.S. side we certainly can push scientific skills at schools, break down industry-academic barriers, professor-student research, encourage an easier patent process, and connect innovators and entrepreneurs together (innovator-entrepreneur and entrepreneur-entrepreneur) to foster cluster innovation.

2. Economic Recovery
3. Climate Crisis
4. Technologies/Innovation
5. Health and Trust in National Science
A little something on China patents I wrote a while ago on Chinese matching U.S. in Doctors, Patents and Scientific Discoveries.
