SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SpectraScience, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SCIE) announced today that it has elected the Honorable Tommy Thompson to its Board of Directors. Before entering the private sector in 2005, Secretary Thompson enjoyed a long and distinguished career in public service. In 1966 he won a seat in Wisconsin's state Assembly.

Elected governor of Wisconsin in 1986, he was reelected in 1990, and in 1994 became the first governor in the state's history to be elected to a third four-year term. In 1998 he was elected to a fourth term, and served in that position until his appointment as Secretary of Health & Human Services in 2001.

As the head of the Department of Health & Human Services, Secretary Thompson served as the nation's leading advocate for the health and welfare of all Americans.
