Huh. Actually, it’s an impressive bio, IMHO. He’s more inclined to support the D side of the R & D equation because of his personal history of inventing cool stuff. I’m not ready to say he’s worthy of losing his post….yet.

When I was getting my master’s (biochemistry, research in molecular biology) there was a fair amount of resentment among professors about the HUGE research dollars going to the Human Genome Project, because it meant fewer dollars for other areas of research. And that came from biochemistry and genetics professors, not creationists or luddites.

He’s got a tough job, so I’m not going to help leftists in their witch hunt until he does something bad.
