Obama chooses Steven Chu as Secretary of Energy - Nobel Prize in Physics in 1997 for laser cooling and trapping of atoms. Longtime supporter of alternative energy. Seems like a step in the right direction.
Also, he personally responded to my email when I was applying for graduate school at Stanford. It was to say that he wouldn't interfere with the usual vetting process and good luck and I ended up getting mega-rejected anyway but it was nice.
He gave a fantastic talk at UT a few years back (Nov 2). Quite impressive.
"SINGLE MOLECULE STUDIES OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS IN VITRO AND IN VIVO" - I think I remember that now, but I had forgotten.
