re: #83 Charles

While some of this is no doubt due to expectations of increased funding, I think there’s more to it than that, and that some scientists do have valid criticisms. The Bush administration was pretty heavy handed, and not always very smart in matters of science.

Charles, I think all of us are stoked that science will be taking a leading role in the new administration. With that being said, we don’t want politics to drive the science. I’m all for science, but if it’s twisted to meet an agenda, it’s just as bad as creationism.
