New "A Vote For Science" Videos

By mstebbins on October 19, 2008.

A bunch more videos have been uploaded in the SEED Magazine, SEA Action Fund "A Vote For Science" YouTube challenge where we asked scientists to tell the public who they are voting for this election and why. So far we only have videos of scientists who are voting for Obama. However, a new report from The Scientist shows that there are in fact scientists voting for McCain. (I knew we weren't so homogeneous a community.) According to their not-so-scientific-but-really-interesting-nonetheless poll, 56% of scientists plan to vote for Obama, 39% for McCain, 4% for Bob Barr and 1% for Nader. So, McCain support'n scientists, upload your videos and make your case. In the mean time, here are some more videos from scientists supporting Obama. Each has a unique adn worthwhile perspective. The videos are all in the favorites category on our YouTube AVoteForScience channel.

The results are in. Obama clearly won the debate.
A lot of people think the debate was pretty even. Obama supporters liked Obama, McCain supporters liked McCain, I assume (that is utterly obvious). But what matters is the effect on uncommitted voters. Aside from the effects of the three major gaffs that McCain made (the cost to him, to his…
