Obama vs. McCain - Science Advisors


This from last week's Nature magazine. A quick scan will tell you how the candidates think. Obama has Harold Varmus, who is a Nobel Laureate and was head of the National Institues of Health, and a bunch of, well, scientists. The list also includes two other Nobel laureates - Bob Horvitz (MIT) and Peter Agre (Hopkins). McCain has a bunch of old hands from government, and corporate heads. Including our friend Carly Fiorina who walked away with $42 million after bringing HP to its knees and was McCains very public on-TV supporter until this.

Plus of course, McCain will have Sarah Palin by his side, who has this to say about Evolution vs. Intelligent design.

Good times.

update: More of Sarah Palin's views on all this + abortion + the gay in her interview with Katie Couric. Watch her talk about how she "didn't make the choice to be gay" (towards the end of the clip).

  1. They should let me be the science adviser. I've never driven any large companies to the brink of failure.
