Federal scientists feel there's too much political influence at their agencies. That's according to a survey of 7,000 scientists at four federal agencies recently conducted by the Center for Science and Democracy.

Dr. Gretchen Goldman is the lead analyst at the Center for Science and Democracy and the author of this report. She joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin with more.
