The American Association for the Advancement of Science, AAAS, posted a letter on its website yesterday, congratulating President-elect Obama and urging him to “act quickly to nominate—by inauguration day on January 20th—a cabinet-rank Assistant to the President for Science and Technology.” They also proposed that he “broaden science advice to the White House by reinvigorating the Office of Science and Technology Policy, as recommended by a host of leading advisory groups.”

Kind regards,
