I havent interacted much with working scientists for the past 5-10 years, but when I was there definitely were right wing scientists in the "free markets are good, the state should be mostly hands off, dont make big sweeping changes too quickly" sense. I dont particularly agree with that viewpoint but its completely compatable with being a scientist.
But that sort of conservativism is essentially politically homless now (in the UK and USA at least).
