Your expressions of support mean a great deal to me &#8211; thank you very much!\u201d Droegemeier wrote in a August 1 tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of Congress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federaltimes.com\/federal-oversight\/congress\/2018\/01\/31\/without-investment-us-risks-falling-behind-in-scientific-research\/\" target=\"_blank\">previously criticized the president<\/a> for leaving the science and technology adviser post vacant, specifically citing the administration\u2019s antagonistic stance towards federal scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But science groups applauded the nomination of a \u201crespected scientist\u201d such as Droegemeier to take the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cScience and technology are embedded in almost every issue that the president deals with, and since 2016, we\u2019ve urged the nomination of a respected scientist or engineer. Kelvin Droegemeier is such a scientist; his work cuts across many disciplines from meteorology to cybersecurity and he has demonstrated many years of public service at the interface of science and policy. His years working on the National Science Board during the Bush and Obama administrations and on the Governor of Oklahoma\u2019s Science and Technology Council validate Droegemeier\u2019s ability to work in bipartisan fashion and across many parts of the government, experience that will serve the president and our nation well,\u201d said Rush Holt, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Droegemeier now moves into the Senate confirmation process before he can officially take up the
