Washington, D.C. 5
A New Look for House Science Panel
国会科学委员会新掌门新气象

The congressional committee that pays the most attention to U.S. science policy has three new subcommittee chairs.

负责制定美国科学政策的国会委员会迎来了三位小组委员会的新主席。

Last week, the House of Representatives’ Committee on Science, Space, and Technology announced that second-term legislator Representative Larry Bucshon (R–IN), a cardiothoracic surgeon who is a deep skeptic of climate change science, would head its research subcommittee. Bucshon replaces Representative Mo Brooks (R–AL), who in his first term impressed the community with his understanding of the government’s role in funding basic research. The new chair of the full committee, Representative Lamar Smith (R–TX), has split the environment and energy portfolio and given energy to a new member of the committee: Representative Cynthia Lummis (R–WY). A lawyer and career politician, she’s a strong advocate of the fossil fuel industry and doesn’t believe that humans are contributing to climate change.

上周，众议院的科学空间和技术委员会宣布Larry Bucshon （印第安纳州共和党）为科学研究小组委员会主席。已经连任议员的Larry Bucshon是一名胸外科医生，同时他也是一名坚定的气候变迁论怀疑者。Larry Bucshon的上一任是Mo Brooks (阿拉巴马州共和党)议员，因为Mo Brooks对于政府在支持基础科学研究方面的作用有很好的见地，因而在第一个任期内他的这些观点在业内留下了深刻的印象。即将执掌整个委员会的议员Lamar Smith（德克萨斯州共和党），把委员会分成了环境和能源两部分，其中能源部分将会交给议员Cynthia Lummis（怀俄明州共和党）负责。Cynthia Lummis是一名律师和职业的政治家，也是一名化石燃料工业的有力支持者，她认为气候变化和人类活动无关。

Finally, the new chair of the technology panel is freshman Representative Thomas Massie (R–KY). A Massachusetts Institute of Technology–trained mechanical engineer and entrepreneur who developed pioneering human-computer interface software, Massie is an acolyte of Tea Party favorite Senator Rand Paul (R–KY).

最后，技术委员会的新任主席让新任议员Thomas Massie（肯塔基州共和党）担任。出身于MIT的Thomas Massie是一名工程师和企业家，他曾开发了具有开创性的人机交互软件。Massie现在也是受茶党拥护的国会议员Rand Paul（肯塔基州共和党）的助手。
