A bunch more videos have been uploaded in the SEED Magazine, SEA Action Fund "A Vote For Science" YouTube challenge where we asked scientists to tell the public who they are voting for this election and why. So far we only have videos of scientists who are voting for Obama. However, a new report from The Scientist shows that there are in fact scientists voting for McCain. (I knew we weren't so homogeneous a community.) According to their not-so-scientific-but-really-interesting-nonetheless poll, 56% of scientists plan to vote for Obama, 39% for McCain, 4% for Bob Barr and 1% for Nader. So, McCain support'n scientists, upload your videos and make your case. In the mean time, here are some more videos from scientists supporting Obama. Each has a unique adn worthwhile perspective. The videos are all in the favorites category on our YouTube AVoteForScience channel.
