Why Don't Americans Elect Scientists?

canisfamiliaris:

Among the 435 members of the House, for example, there are one physicist, one chemist, one microbiologist, six engineers, and nearly two dozen with medical training, though the case of doctors is telling: Those with medical backgrounds escape the anti-intellectual charge of irrelevance often thrown at those in the hard sciences.

This showing is sparse even with the inclusion of the doctors, but it shouldn’t be too surprising. For complex historical reasons, Americans have long privately dismissed scientists and mathematicians as impractical and elitist, even while publicly paying lip service to them.
