:: TCS: About Us

Tech Central Station (TCS) is an award-winning news and commentary site that focuses on science, health and technology at the intersection of public policy.  TCS has an established world view:  free markets, free trade, sound science and a strong defense for America.

The explosion of dazzling technological advances over the last two centuries has brought with it a host of thorny political and public policy questions. The collision of technology and public policy has enormous implications for our lives and our future.

We believe the opportunities free markets and technology present are nearly limitless. But amidst those opportunities are concerns about a variety of issues: the hi-tech military and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; biotech and pharmaceutical development and intellectual property; sound environmental, nutritional and biological science; telecommunications and broadband technology penetration; energy development and global sustainable development; government regulation; and trade, to name a few.

Tech Central Station is supported by sponsoring corporations that share our faith in technology and free markets. Smart application of technology - combined with pro free market, science-based public policy - has the ability to help us solve many of the world's problems, and so we are grateful to AT&T, Avue Technologies, The Coca-Cola Company, ExxonMobil, General Motors Corporation, Intel, McDonalds, Merck, Microsoft, Nasdaq, Pfizer, PhRMA and Qualcomm for their support.  All of these corporations are industry leaders that have made great strides in using technology for our betterment, and we are proud to have them as sponsors. However, the opinions expressed on the site are solely those of the writers and not necessarily of any corporation or other organization.
