Teich, director of science and policy programs at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington.<br /><br />But others were disappointed that the four-page document did not provide more specifics. “The guidelines are substantively quite thin,” said Roger A. Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado."<br /><br />Clearing representing RPJr as a scientist, not a political scientist, equally qualified to speak as is the AAAS guy ...<br /><br />His quotes in the Times are actually harmless (rather pointless, really, he just provides weak criticism), but elsewhere he's tried to "set the record straight", pointing out that science was no more politicized during the W administration than at other times (yeah, right).dhogazanoreply@blogger.com
