Everyday Science and Nanoscale Views both discussed the recent piece on NPR about presidential science. Obama would put more money into it, but that's not too shocking, since democrats like spending more government money. It sounds like McCain would be more open to scientific funding than Bush was, but I'm still voting for Obama.
Katie Couric will be asking the candidates questions during the conventions, and has asked Digg users to submit questions. Firstly, you should Digg that in general, but you should also Digg the question posed by ScienceDebate 2008:
"85% of the country wants to see the candidates debate on matters of science and technology policy. Why have both candidates consistently refused or ignored a political debate centered on science and technology? Asia is producing ten scientists and engineers to our one, and by 2010, 90% of scientists and engineers will have come from an Asian nation. How can America hope to compete if our candidates aren't even willing to talk about the problems we're facing?"
