Real scientists in the Obama administration

Sweet music to my ears. These people are giants in their field, and are bona-fide scientists, not bullshit hacks who will twist facts to please their political masters. Its the worst thing a scientist can do - lend credence to something patently unsupported by sound data; it promotes falsehoods in the name of science, and truly tarnishes the trust that the public has in scientists.

Hopefully this new set of scientists in the Obama administration will have the spine to do what needs to be done to get S&T back on track in his country. (Of course, they could start off by, cough, cough, increasing the salaries of scientists. Happy scientists = productive scientists...)
