A post earlier this week about the Pope’s comments regarding pharmacists and conscientious objection prompted a string of comments that are worth checking out. It’s great to see people going back and forth like this on an issue.
A few other highlights from recent comments:
Laura(southernxyl) on “Speed reading the October 30 Democratic debate”:
“And when George Bush requests $196 billion for next year’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is seeing a flat-lining of investment in science research, that makes it more difficult for us to encourage our children to go into sciences.”
Yes, every high school student I know reasons this way. I’d major in biology, but George Bush wants to spend money warring in the Middle East, so I guess I’ll major in English instead.
emily on “Watson retires; search for “foot in mouth” gene continues”:
Yeah, women scientists are clearly more difficult than men–if you are a misogynist. We’re funny like that.
