If you're interested in how your elected representatives feel about science, Scientists and Engineers for America have just launched a new wiki-type site that tracks how politicians have behaved. The network already includes more than 500 Web sites, and at least one for every senator, congressman, and Presidential candidate.

"Not sure what your congressman has said or done about global warming? Look it up on their SHARP page. If it's not there, then you can help by adding it," according to a statement posted yesterday (Jan 16) by Michael Stebbins, on the SEA Board of Advisors.

Here's how it works: You click on a map, select your state or enter a zip code, and up pops your representatives' views on science. (Here is one of my representatives, Robert Brady.) Click on "2008 Presidential Candidates" to review their records. To contribute to the content, you must register.

You can also see how the US Presidential candidates match up on the AAAS Web site, and a Web site from Popular Mechanics.
