Although responses to our call for aspirations for the field have been
few in number, some have addressed various of the issues raised in Jay's
paper on the next 50 years. Different contributions have expressed, for
example, a need to have degree programs teaching system dynamics, the
importance of getting work and citations in non-academic domains, the
need to build a constituency of people with influence, and work to grow
public awareness.  

However, Jay is correct that the responses so far have been very few in
number, but also in the scope and ambition required. Even taken
together, they do not for example add up to the full-scale
infrastructure the paper calls for throughout all levels of the
education system, from K-12 to PhD. 

Contributions are still welcome, including from those with the strong
expertise and experience that the paper indicates are so vital to taking
the field forward.
