Speaking of the illustrious patron, I just read an interesting little suggestion he made in Discover magazine, giving advice on what the next POTUS needs to do for science. http://snipurl.com/5nwoy [blogs_discovermagazine_com] The idea of a "shadow scientific Congress" sounds like an idea with merit.
