Political scientists. CQ Weekly, the bible of U.S. politics for the Capitol Hill crowd, has decided that being a scientist is a legitimate profession after all. Next year, the magazine will add the designation to its annual listing of what members did before being elected to Congress.

CQ's Peter King says that, based on his analysis of the new 108th Congress, "science deserves its own category." Although there are no Senate scientists, he has concluded that five current House members qualify for the label. They are physicists Rush Holt (D-NJ) and Vernon Ehlers (R-MI), microbiologist Louise Slaughter (D-NY), mining geologist Jim Gibbons (R-NV), and chemist Barbara Cubin (R-WY).
