Obama Campaign Reveals Science Advisors

Obama announced his science platform earlier this month in response to questions posed by ScienceDebate2008, a nonpartisan political education group. In response to a Wired Science follow-up, the campaign identified five people who helped draft Obama’s statement: Harold Varmus, a Nobel laureate and former head of the National Institutes of Health; Gilbert Ommen, a former president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; Peter Agre, a Nobel laureate and ardent critic of the Bush administration; NASA researcher Donald Lamb; and Stanford University plant biologist Sharon Long.

    “Apple was confident that Obama would be able to assemble such a team.”

    Would it be too rude to say “Duhhhh”? I mean, in a good-humored way. When President Obama starts calling for people to work on Federal science policies — yes, even people who aren’t in life sciences — he’d better have the paramedics handy to treat injuries caused by scientists falling all over each other in the dash to volunteer.
