Do scientists want to be elected ?
- thronemonkey 14y agoI work in science, and the answer is basically no. In order to be a successful scientist, you have to be fascinated, even obsessed with your topic of study, sometimes to the point of not really caring about the wider world. This means that, in general, those who have the most success in science are also those who have the least desire to run for public office.
- egsmith 14y agoI was thinking the same thing. They're rarely elected because they're rarely on the ballot.
