What do you think this means in terms of funding, job opportunities,
environmental education, research and policy, etc.? What major changes (if
any) do you think might occur over the next few years that will affect our
personal and professional lives as ecologists? Should we be excited?

I think an Obama administration can give us a lot to hope for on the one
hand -- Obama has spoken about restoring an emphasis on science in
education, and he clearly wants to be informed by science. He's
expressed serious concern about addressing global climate change. I've
heard him using
In the acceptance speech he mentioned the huge challenges facing the
country - the economic mess, A PLANET IN PERIL, and two wars. So he's got
environmental issues at the forefront of his concerns - which was a big
surprise to me, since there was so little discussion (aside from energy
issues)
I think Barack Obama's victory is great news in terms of energy policy and
other policies related to global warming.
As for research funding, I hate to speculate. Obama will want to increase
funding for science and promote science education (including environmental
education), which is a big

the Interior? That will probably have an important impact on how he will
impact wildlife biologists, science, conservation, etc.

Well, guys, I voted for him too, and I'm hopeful he we'll take environmental
issues very seriously, but I'm also trying to be realistic. (Put not your
faith in princes!) He's only one man, and we are facing a host of
overwhelming problems, and a large portion of our populace don't even
recognize

I don't agree that Obama is only one person - he is part of an extraodinary
team that worked very hard and efficiently to win this election. His victory is
part of an election that also produced additions to congress that will be
friendly to science (e.g., Udall in CO and Udall in NM). Just as
