Grad Students Uniting Against Bush Science Policy

scienceinpolicy.org describes itself as run by "a group of scientists (graduate students, post-docs, faculty and others) trying to voice our growing concern that the Bush administration misuses science in environmental policymaking." The site is seeking signatures for a statement "that President Bush's policies will cause and exacerbate damage to the natural systems on which we all depend."

This is a nice example of scientists using the Internet to promote the proper use of scientific knowledge in government. I would love to see it replicated in other countries.
