On Tuesday, Oct. 4, John H. Marburger III, science adviser to the President and director of the U.S. Office of Science and Technology Policy, addressed a crowded auditorium full of LSU faculty, staff and students in the Rotunda Auditorium of LSU’s Energy, Coast and Environment Building.

Marburger’s appearance was part of the Chancellor’s Distinguished Lectureship Series. His presentation, titled “Science and Technology Policy in the Real World,” addressed the federal government’s role in funding and support for science and technology, as well as how funding decisions are made.

The RNC reports

President Bush announced this morning his nomination of Harriet Miers to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. Miers, 60, was the President’s personal attorney in Texas before coming to the White House in 2001. In 2004 she was elevated from deputy chief of staff to White House Counsel

The AP reports President Bush says “Harriet Miers is a trusted adviser on whom I have long relied for straightforward advice…Harriet has the keen judgment and discerning intellect necessary to be an outstanding counsel.”

Reuters reports this morning “A senior administration official said the name of Miers, 60, came up in consultations with both Republican and Democratic senators as someone who could win bipartisan support. The official also said some senators from both parties thought it was important for Bush to pick someone who was not a judge and could offer a different perspective on the job.�

If confirmed, Miers will be the third woman in history to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.
