Science and Politics Intersecting, Correlating etc.

Via email from Sheril:
Hey folks,

Today at 2pm, listen in on NPR's Science Friday with Ira Flatow on the Call for a Science Debate:

Friday, January 11th, 2008
Hour One- 2pm EDT
The Call for A Science Debate

"Should the presidential candidates participate in a debate focusing on science, technology, and the environment? A group of voters has started a petition movement calling for a science debate."

Details on today's program here:

On a related note, Atmoz spots a good starting point at Physics Today, compiling candidates'
positions on science-related matters.

    Maybe it's their science advisors who should talk, as probably the candidates are pretty clueless about science.

    Carter was an engineer.

    He's not regarded as a successful president but I think there's something to be said for trying to do the right thing and failing as opposed to not trying at all.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.



Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
