In my experience many academic scientists ARE professional politicians.
Remember the DNA intrigue. Also the MRI shenanigans.
You mean like Congressmen Rush Holt (D-NJ) and Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD)? Not too many others out there that I'm aware of.

I'm going to be honest with you : I have no idea what you're talking about.
If you're talking about the 2003 Physiology or Med Nobel mess involving Raymond Damadian, that's just academic politics, which has really no obvious connection to electoral politics.
If you're talking about Rosalind Franklin, w/regard to the awarding of the 1962 prize in Phys or Med, there are actually some very sound reasons she didn't get the prize, although I'm not sure if that's what you're referring.
