Spot on. Perfect. Outstanding. - Paulo Nuin

In general I don't think I agree with Dawkins' militant stance. If it is true that the human mind is easy prey to persuasive power of any cause (ex. religion, nationalism), than militant atheism can also be one of these powerful causes. People might end up doing "whatever it takes" to educate the "idiot masses". I think the emphasis should be on education and critical thinking more than religion. Educating the next generations to be protected against the power of a cause. - Pedro Beltrao

"The immediate casualty of the media hype surrounding a new primate fossil is the joy of a new and beautiful discovery, but science may also come out of the episode with some lingering bruises." - Abhishek Tiwari from Bookmarklet

If the media can´t properly cover basic stuff like politics or even sports, how can anyone expect them to appropiately report about a fossil? :) - Josue Santos Martin

I get really nervous driving past a cyclist in case something happens and I'm blamed for causing injury. Too much concentration on not clipping a person on a bike has given me palpitations many a time!! - Charlotte {charley} M

Journal of proteome research (12 May 2009) The proteome of the recently discovered bacterium Methylocella silvestris has been characterised using three profiling and comparative proteomics approaches. The organism has been grown on two different substrates enabling variations in protein expression to be identified. The results obtained using the experimental approaches have been compared with respect to number of proteins identified, confidence in identification, sequence coverage and agreement of regulated proteins. The sample preparation, instrumental time and sample loading requirements of the differing experiments are compared and discussed. A preliminary screen of the protein regulation results for biological significance has also been performed.

Illustrating the problem with science literacy in the US: “I do believe sadly it's going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe. If the vaccine companies are not listening to us, it's their f___ing fault that the diseases are coming back. They're making a product that's s___. If you give us a safe vaccine, we'll use it. It shouldn't be polio versus autism.” --Jenny McCarthy in Time Magazine, April 2009 - Vincent Racaniello
