Scientist might join race for Senate:
Dr. Peter Agre, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist at Duke University, said Friday he's considering a run for U.S. Senate in his native state of Minnesota, where he would join an eclectic Democratic field that already includes a comedian and a trial lawyer.
In a telephone interview, Agre conceded he faces long odds.
"If you talk about a dark horse, I'm the jet-black Shetland pony that's four miles behind everybody," he said. "But this is a marathon, this is not a sprint. I've talked to many people who have assured me this will be really tough. I've been willing to try things in the past that are really tough. By and large, I've done a pretty good job."
Science.
