Recibi este mensaje de una de las organizadoras de una campaña, empezada el año pasado, para asegurar que los candidatos presidenciales dejen en claro sus opiniones con respecto a las ciencias.
Parece que ambos candidatos estan dispuestos a declarar sus opiniones, con Obama siendo el primero en publicar sus posiciones sobre temas como apoyo a la investigacion con celulas madres embrionicas, el cambio climatico, y fuentes alternativas de energia.
Que piensan sobre las opiniones de Obama?

Friends,
In November, 2007, a small group of six citizens - two screenwriters, a physicist, a philosopher, and Chris Mooney and I - began working to restore science and innovation to America's political dialogue by launching an initiative called ScienceDebate2008. Within weeks, more than 38,000 scientists, engineers, and other concerned Americans signed on, including nearly every major American science organization, dozens of Nobel laureates, elected officials and business leaders, and the presidents of over 100 major American universities. Signers submitted over 3,400 questions and we worked with the leading organizations involved to craft the top 14 questions the candidates should answer.
Barack Obama is the first to step up to our challenge and John McCain has said he will answer as well.

The Senator from Illinois has responded comprehensively providing a glimpse into what an Obama-Biden administration would look like:

We hope you'll join us in getting the word out and sending the message across America that issues regarding science and technology affect all of us and must play a prominent role in every election.
