Sean,
Interesting that you mention blogging on the topic. I posted on my blog
about Governor Palin earlier this evening and received a most
interesting comment regarding my being a "socialist scientist" as I
supported government funded basic research that did not directly effect
national security. Have a read of my post, the comment and my response
at escubed.wordpress.com
It nicely illustrates your point about how much more we need to do with
the public perception of science.
