Now on ScienceBlogs: Spirited Debate with Ray and Kirk
Science Policy and Debate in the 2008 Presidential Election
With less than two months left before the next U.S. president is elected, ScienceBlogs wanted to dedicate a space to campaign politics. A Vote For Science is a group blog that will focus on the candidates' science policies. It is managed by many interested ScienceBloggers, as well as guest blogger Ivan Oelrich of the Federation of American Scientists.
The Scientists and Engineers for America's SHARP network allows you to click on the map to see where your candidates stand on important science issues.
