Congressman Rush Holt (D-NJ) has served in the House of Representatives since 1998, but prior to that he was assistant director of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.

Holt sent us his thoughts on the critical role that respect for open scientific inquiry plays in making policy that improves the lives of all Americans.
