Two Nobel laureates hit Bush on science
By Mattias Karen, Associated Press  |  December 9, 2005

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Two American Nobel Prize winners said yesterday they are worried about President Bush's attitude toward science and accused his administration of ignoring important research findings.

''There is a measure of denial of scientific evidence going on within our administration, and there are many scientists who are not happy about that," said Roy J. Glauber of Harvard University, who shared this year's physics prize with fellow American John L. Hall and Germany's Theodor W. Haensch.

Their research on the quantum nature of light has resulted in more precise optical clocks and measuring systems, and is used in today's satellite positioning systems.
