	Policy, Politics, and Science in the White House: Conversations with Presidential Science Advisors - Project ...
		Fourth on my points, is the science advisor, of course, often speaks to the President on matters of science and technology, and that means you need to know what it is the President thinks so that you say the right things.
		One job of the science advisor is to coordinate those activities, and here's a list of science and technology-related activities; just the ones that came up or that we were working on in the time I was in the White House, two and a half years.
		The science advisor is supposed to coordinate those kind of activities across all of government, all the federal agencies, get everybody to work together like a happy family somehow.

	Former Congressman gives faculty lesson on science lobbying - MIT News Office
		The answer, by former Illinois Republican Congressman John E. Porter, was a lesson in lobbying for a galaxy of MIT professors and eight former Presidential science advisors attending MIT's May 1 celebration of the 25th anniversary of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
		Funding increases in physical sciences must keep pace with the life sciences, he told the MIT audience, echoing a theme spoken by President Charles Vest and several of the Presidential science advisors.
		Science education in many of our schools is not a high priority and qualified science teachers are hard to find.

		Major issues involving science and technology that arise at the presidential level usually transcend the responsibilities of individual departments and agencies and are often embedded in broad national policies.
		The organization, functions, and operations of the Office of Science and Technology Policy should be assessed with a view to sharpening its focus on matters of concern to the President and strengthening its support of the NSTC the President's Committee of Advisors on Science and Technology, and the Assistant to the President for SandT.
		The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology was reestablished after a lapse of fifteen years in order to draw on the expertise of the outside scientific and engineering community (during the Reagan administration, a White House Science Council reported to the President's science advisor rather than to the President).

		In comments to journalists in Texas on Monday, President Bush said that intelligent design should be taught side by side with scientific theories of evolution in the classroom.
		Scientists counter that evolution is among the most solid theories of science.
		The idea of intelligent design is entirely untestable, scientists further argue, and if an idea can't be tested, then it can't be proved one way or the other and so is not a theory.

	Bush’s Science Policy
		Science is not just science anymore and if the work its practitioners cherish is going to go forward, they’ll have to embrace a more democratic model for framing, approving, and reviewing projects and allocating resources.
		Much of basic life sciences research conducted in the U.S. is concentrated in this huge complex of research centers, which for decades has enjoyed a remarkably arms’ length relationship with the government agencies that supervise it.
		Afterwards, science advisor Marburger suggested that attacks by scientists during the campaign could hurt federal support for science funding.

	Presidential Science Advisor John Marburger's Address to the American Astronomical Society \| SpaceRef Canada - Your ...
		Astronomy was the first great observational science, and the regularities of the heavens were the first sign to thoughtful men and women that the apparent chaos of Nature might conceal enduring laws.
		During most of the second half of the past century, federal support for science was strongly influenced by the conditions of the Cold War.
		It was clear at the time that science, and particularly what I call discovery-oriented science, would have to make a new case for continued federal support that relied less heavily than in the past upon its military or national defense application.

	American Physical Society Comments on Academy R&D Report
		As reported in FYI #35, Robert Walker's (R-PA) House Science Committee held a February 28 hearing on the National Academies report entitled, "Allocating Federal Funds for Science and Technology." For the hearing, two top officials of the American Physical Society submitted a written statement to the Science Committee with their views on the report's findings.
		In the section, "Defining a Federal Science and Technology Budget," which appears in Part I of the report, the panel recommends that "in the future, government support for basic and applied science and technology be presented, analyzed, and considered in terms of an FS&T budget," rather than an R&D budget as is currently the case.
		We urge the Science Committee to consider the issues in depth, particularly at this time of budgetary stringency, one which demands maximum efficiency in all federal endeavors.

		For example, at the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science Colloquium on Science and Technology Policy last week, Dr. Marburger's keynote address was dominated by references for the need to understand the social and behavioral sciences.
		In response to a Science Directorate initiative asking APA members to become more actively involved in submitting opinions to local and national newspapers (see: http://www.apa.org/science/editorial.html), Geoff Mumford submitted a letter to The Washington Post highlighting the importance of behavioral research funded by the Department of Defense.
		Dianne Maranto, APA Science Directorate's Director of Psychology in the Workplace, and PPO's Heather Kelly headed down to Ft. Belvoir, Virginia in March for a joint symposium sponsored by Divisions 19 (Military Psychology) and 21 (Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology), in conjunction with the Potomac Chapter of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.

	Gibbons urges researchers to help educate Congress, public - MIT News Office
		Americans are largely supportive of federal funding for research in science and technology, but the "long-term underpinnings" of that support are subject to "near-term shifts in values," said former presidential science advisor Jack Gibbons in his second Karl Taylor Compton Lecture last week.
		He was at MIT on November 30 delivering his second 1998 Compton Lecture, "Governance of Science and Technology: Theory, Myths and Reality." The first, "The 21st Century: Will Science and Technology Contribute to Society or Scuttle It?" was presented on October 22 (see MIT Tech Talk, October 28, 1998).
		Gibbons admitted that one problem inherent in the public promotion of science is the difficulty of assessing the value of research that has not yet been done.
