[ RadSafe ] RE: SCIENTIST PRESIDENT

Thu Oct 2 16:45:49 CDT 2008

Correction:

Jimmy Carter was educated in the public school of Plains, attended
Georgia Southwestern College and the Georgia Institute of Technology,
and received a bachelor of science degree in physics from the United
States Naval Academy in 1946. In the Navy he became a submariner,
serving in both the Atlantic and Pacific fleets and rising to the rank
of lieutenant. Chosen by Admiral Hyman Rickover for the nuclear
submarine program, he was assigned to Schenectady, N.Y., where he took
graduate work at Union College in reactor technology and nuclear
physics, and served as senior officer of the pre-commissioning crew of
the Seawolf, the second nuclear submarine. 

It would appear that his graduate work did not result in his obtaining
higher degrees.

You are both correct. His formal education is a Bachelor of Science
degree in physics in 1946 from Georgia Southwestern State University.

I think Jimmy was a Nuclear Engineer.

I don't think that is the answer:  Jimmy Carter was a physicist....

And so is Andrea Merkel, and while I consider her an order of magnitude 
brighter than either Presidential Candidate (and 10 orders of magnitude 
brighter than either VP), I don't know if you can call the current state
of 
Germany Nirvana - except maybe during Oktoberfest....

Space exploration was the main impetus that got myself and many other 
scientists interested in science [I actually thought becoming a health 
physicist with nuclear navy background would qualifiy me to do work on 
spacecraft]. Even if the space exploration challenge is pie in the sky,
it 
still motivates me to this day to do better science. Perhaps
over-extended 
space exploration will motivate a generation of scientists and the US
will 
one day have a scientist president (vs. lawyer) and we will all achive 
nirvanna and have Plato's philosopher-king as our leader.

Cheers!
