Obama Welcomed By Scientists

With a new president comes a new world of science. When Obama said he would “restore science to its rightful place,” he was signaling an end to eight years of stark tension between science and government. Science staff members held parties in the office on this day because it was a start to a new beginning after the tensions of the last eight years. Obama plans to build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together, something that Bush had not done. With expectations so high, and promises of progress in stubborn areas like alternative energy, Obama has a lot of eyes watching him. With a new president, and a new beginning Obama is bound to have great success in renewing the bond between scince and government.
