Physicist Democrats: Listen To Nick And Run For Office

You guys are awesome and we need more of you.Rush Holt, formerly of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, just beat Watson at Jeopardy.

Also, if you didn't catch it last year when it happened, Energy Secretary and Nobel Prize winner Steven Chu used gamma rays to save the planet. I guess that's a lot more consequential, but the Jeopardy thing is cool too.
