Holdren for Science Advisor

ScienceDebate2008 are reporting that John Holdren is going to be nominated as Presidential Science Adivsor, and Jane Lubchenco for head of NOAA.

This is good news.

John Holdren is a physicist (plasma/fusion physics) with expertise in energy policy, environmental issues and security.
Good combo, and, strangely, my pick, way back when (see comments).

More Holdren info.

Good choice, but Obama is going to need a high up biologist somewhere, since Chu and Holdren are now the top scientists on board and they overlap in expertise.

Jane Lubchenco will be in charge of air and oceans.
Excellent choice.

More impeccable choices from the President-Elect.
Hope they live up to their promise, one and all.
