Take heart, 9% of scientists describe themselves as Conservative.

The point is you are using an example from 60 and 70 years ago as somehow beong applicable today.
DO Catholic priests still put people to death?

This poll would appear to be quite dubious as to what they actually found.
First, there are a lot of things that are called "science" which really aren't, and a lot of people who call themselves scientists who don't really practice science. The vast majority of this category tend to be airhead liberals.
OTOH, just about every engineer I know is a conservative, the difference being that you can't just pull things out of your ass like these so called scientists do.
Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??

What was it that scientists were doing to blacks back in the 50's. Weren't they injecting them with Syphilis or something? Good to know they weren't conservatives either.
Or something.

Nothing there about who they consider scientists, although this pretty telling:
While scientists are generally upbeat about the state of their profession, they do see several obstacles to conducting high-quality basic research. As might be expected, by far the biggest impediment is a lack of funding
Whatever butters your bread...

And 84% say government is the top source of their funding.

Some who call themselves scientists aren't scientists also.For example Globullshit warming dudes in white coats.
And evilution dudes in white coats.
They use the specter of being scientists to mystify the gullible.

Archeology - history - evolution ... are non repeatable --- not science !

One is a senior scientist at a major research institute with two PhDs. Not bad considering he's only 35.
I wouldn't feel too bad for him.

You said he's an "engineer" yet you go on to say he's a scientist at a research institute. Do you even know the difference between a scientist and an engineer.
I would certainly expect a "scientist" at a government funded "research" institute to be a liberal.

Is there a law that says being one excludes one from being the other?

You need to tell NASA that those vaunted Rocket scientists don't need no engineering background.

I'm not even sure what you are telling me to Google.
"research scientist engineer" is gibberish.
OTOH, "+research +scientist +engineer" would turn up results as there are both engineer researchers and scientific researchers.
Why don't you google "+engineer +scientist +difference."

You post a bunch of irrelevant websites as proof of what? That some organizations seem to use the terms interchangeably?
You do know that no state (that I know of) will consider a science degree and science work as qualifying factors in becoming licensed as an a professional engineer?

Oh...I don't know PaddyCakes...maybe as proof that the top schools from which one may procure an engineering degree call engineering a science... I did forget one link tho...the one from which YOU got your "engineering degree"...

Generally requires an engineering degree and passing the fundamentals of engineering exam
And then about 4 years of verified engineering experience, plus about 5 references, at least 3 of which must be licensed engineers.
Then you must pass a professional test in your specific area of choice.
Every year, you must verify continuing credits of proficiency.
Their are some variations from state to state (I've done this in 3 states), but that's basically the gist of it.

Engineering is closely associated with applied science, but not science in general.
As you know nothing about me and never will, I don't give a shit about the misconceptions you have about what I am or am not.
OTOH, I know exactly who you are.

OTOH, "+research +scientist +engineer" would turn up results as there are both engineer researchers and scientific researchers.
There is also the job title "Research Scientist Engineer". Below is a job description for that title (them three gibberish words seem to work fine).
Research Scientist/Engineer Senior: Senior, professional level scientist/engineer. Independently applies advanced scope of scientific knowledge and principles in planning and executing laboratory research. Represents research in conferences to resolve important issues, as well as plan and coordinate research. Work involves extremely complex problems of diverse scope where analysis requires evaluation of intangible variance factors. Acts as a technical lead or consultant on various projects.
Minimum Qualifications: PhD and 6 or more years of related experience.
However, I believe what I said was that he was an engineer with the job title, "senior scientist", working at a research institute. I also said that he has two PhDs.
