Abstract
US President Barack Obama's decision to include several scientists in his cabinet–including two physicists, John Holdren and Steven Chu, who will serve as science advisor and energy secretary, respectively – is discussed in this month's news section (see pp8–9). Two articles posted on physicsworld.com when the announcements were first made (“Nobel laureate goes to Washington?” 11 December 2008 and “Obama nominates physicist as science advisor” 22 December 2008) sparked a number of comments, both sceptical and supportive, from readers.
