Change.gov

[Cyberbob]

Change.gov (http://change.gov/) is a website much like Obama's campaign site. It shows his agenda and ideas for the government policies that we've all been hearing about since he was nominated. The neat thing about this website is that it lets the public provide their ideas for how to change policies and create new ones.


Here is the direct link to the page where you write down your ideas: http://change.gov/page/s/yourvision

Holy shit, he's got Eric Lander as one of his scientific advisors..

Much of Lander's work is in genomics, a field which involves huge groups of researchers collaborating on large scale experiments. It is often difficult to single out one person as the driving force behind key discoveries, but Lander is an exception. He founded and directed WICGR, one of the world's leading centres for genome research. His contribution to the Human Genome Project alone makes Lander's career noteworthy. He continues to push the forefront of applying genomic knowledge to the difficult challenges of medical genetics, to which end he founded the Broad Institute. In addition to his research, he has for several years co-taught MIT's required undergraduate introductory biology course (7.012) with Robert Weinberg.
