That's what my friend Eli Kintisch is reporting over at Science's new blog, Science Insider.
It's also something I suggested in a column for Seed last year, where I wrote, "In science policy circles, one also sometimes hears mention of Harvard's John Holdren, former American Association for the Advancement of Science president and an energy and climate expert, as a top science adviser candidate."
If Eli's report is true, this is an awesome choice--and Holdren is yet another ScienceDebate2008 supporter! Here's his video:

Atop other Obama appointments, this is one I suspect America's scientists will welcome. From the Washington Post:
ScienceDebate2008 are reporting that John Holdren is going to be nominated as Presidential Science Adivsor, and Jane Lubchenco for head of NOAA.
This is good news.
That's the word from the Washington Post. Like, wow. Lubchenco is yet another distinguished scientist and ScienceDebate2008 supporter. We are racking them up in this administration.
No. But that's apparently not enough to keep some people from making the claim.
