Que vereuenza, 0.33% of Gross Internal Product for science and Tech in Mexico

In an interesting article in Green Momentum that looks at the investment the Mexico, in comparison to Brazil, is investing in its science and technology. Correction( $1.3, thanks Alex!) 1,300 million USD is the  Conacyt budget! A first world country should be putting 1-2% of their Gross Internal Product into science and education. Brazil is at 1.2%. Mexico is 0.33% !! That is a disgrace, and the Mexican people should realize this is why their country is not advancing!

Hi Rodger, always nice to read your posts about mexican science (nostalgia). In this one though there is an error, the budget for CONACYT is actually 1300 million USD. Did you take the "," from the green momentum article as a decimal separator maybe?

See you around
