Today’s Science Friday program was super-timely. The second hour of the show contained a discussion of McCain’s reference to money for the Adler Planetarium as a pork-barrel earmark, and a discussion of promoting innovation in America. Here is the audio:

Regarding the projector, I enjoyed one of the interviewee’s comments that it’s ironic that McCain’s website spends time talking about science support, and yet he continues to call out money for upgrading a science education facility a pork-laden earmark.
