You can listen live here right now to WCPN’s Sound of Ideas show about Science Debate 2008:
Got Issues? The Candidates and Science
The next President needs a pretty impressive resume–skilled in diplomacy and building consensus quick to understand policy and, with a 150 billion dollar research budget, science. With that in mind, scientists and others have been calling for a debate on scientific topics, and it’s now scheduled for April. Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. we’ll continue our analysis of the issues in the campaigns with a look what the presidential hopefuls are saying and proposing about science, technology and the environment.Guests:
Mary Wooley, President, Research America
Andrew Revkin, The New York Times
Jeffrey Mervis, Deputy News Editor, Science Magazine
Or you can listen later from here.
Here are my posts about the debate which has now been scheduled for April 18, 2008. All presidential candidates have been invited.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for blogging about this! I signed onto Science Debate 2008 last December, and its momentum keeps on growing. I’ll definitely download the Sound of Ideas podcast tonight. Thanks!
You bet, David! I’m glad I’m not the only who is interested.
Betsy Sullivan of the PD wrote a good editorial about supporting it too – maybe two or three weeks ago? I posted a link to it – if you search in my blog on her name, you should find it if you’re interested.
