Benjamin Franklin, Civic Scientist. This article in Physics Today by a former science adviser to Bill Clinton discuses Benjamin Franklin's role as the American prototype of a civic scientist. This issue also has an interesting article on Richard Meserve, a physicist and lawyer who applies his scientific training to his legal work. [Via /.]

On a Mac, the Physics Today pages don't seem to work in Safari, but they're fine in Explorer. Weird.
