I'm not surprised that a scientist votes for Trump, I don't think they're some kind of super intelligent superhumans. I'm surprised that a scientist self-describes as a conservative, because being a scientist is about discovering new things, while being a conservative is about everything staying the same.

while being a conservative is about everything staying the same.

Or "while being a conservative is about not discovering new things, as it might challenge their status quo"
