I agree abt Google-fu. I was singularly unsuccessful with this effort: http://www.google.com/search... - Patricia F. Anderson

Very sloppy alternative, but what about exploring those who've liked AAAS http://www.facebook.com/AAAS... (6401 when I checked). They won't all be scientists, and it is a big assumption to imply they are, but there are probably a few other similar organizations whose "friends" you could mine for more accurate numbers. - Patricia F.
