June 4, 2006 - In the modern world, politics and science can sometimes collide. Consider politically contentious subjects such as stem-cell research and climate change. President Bush's science adviser, Dr. John Marburger, will field questions from readers about White House policies on science and technology. Submit your question now, and we'll post selected responses on Friday, June 9.
John H. Marburger III, science adviser to the president and director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, attended Princeton University (B.A., physics 1962) and Stanford University (Ph.D. Applied Physics 1967). Before his appointment in the Executive Office of the President, he served as Director of Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1998, and as the third President of the State University of New York at Stony Brook (1980-1994). He came to Long Island in 1980 from the University of Southern California where he had been a professor of physics and electrical engineering, serving as physics department chairman and dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences in the 1970s. In the fall of 1994 he returned to the faculty at Stony Brook, teaching and doing research in optical science as a University Professor. Three years later he became President of Brookhaven Science Associates, a partnership between the university and Battelle Memorial Institute that competed for and won the contract to operate Brookhaven National Laboratory.
