Very strong Republican element in scientific/engineering circles - been that way
since they were in high school. I went to school with them, I went to university with them,
& I went to work myself in a national lab and in industry with them. They are out there
and still alive and voting.

It was probably even more true before my time.

It's possible the youngest generation is more left-leaning.
