Now that President Obama has been sworn in, we hope to see a lot of changes in the American view of science. One cartoon today in our local newspaper (the Kingston, NY Daily Freeman) shows Science as an old man being let out of a dungeon by Obama! Hopefully, scientists will benefit from increased respect for their work, and we will all benefit from a more realistic view of some of the science-based problems facing our nation and our Earth.

Checking the White House website today, I found the Energy and Environment agenda for the Obama-Biden administration. Take a look!
