The commissioner of the FDA, Dr. Andrew C. con Eschenbach said that he will be resignin on the inaugeration day of January 20th. Apparently, there are a lot of expected resignations at the FDA. The New York Times reports that the Bush administration allowed politics to play an dunsually forceful role in science policy. The Obama administration is expected to clean these public agencies--a good start!
Other people who have resigned include Dr. Elias Zerhouni from the National Institutes of Health and Dr. Julie Gerberding who is the director of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention...Gerberding apparently wrote an email that said she's leaving "after the administration changes." Dr. John Niederhuber who is the director of the National Cancer Institue is also leaving his post as the director but may work in other areas of the National Cancer Institute.
The article talks about all of the changes that are made extensively, but these resignations go to show how corrupt the Bush administration actually was. It scares me to think what they were hiding or plotting.
Although these changes are going to be hard to deal with, I think that they are going to allow Obama to start a fresh and new America--the Obama administration will be like a renaissance for the United States.
