   In general, all news media does a poor job of reporting on science issues. We need journalism students to spend more time in science courses, so that they are exposed to different applications of the scientific method in different disciplines. An interdisciplinary major program in colleges and universities would go a long way toward this. Even coupling a dedicated course o…

   Yeah, I meant "falsely equated" (I was thinking of the logical fallacy called "equivocation" while I was typing and my brain betrayed me...!) I think we agree then that it's the process that matters. It will forever be impossible to separate the implications of scientific assessments from politics; after all, many scientific conclusions bear on human behavior, and the pro…

   Correction, @NPR: the tau charged lepton was discovered in 1975; the tau neutrino was confirmed later, in 2000: http://t.co/6TMVIQFSdv

    The other issues you raise are largely centered on logical fallacies, which many people in general are unaware are poor means of arguing.. After all, all human endeavors are made possible by some form of financial support; it's a red herring to point to science funding (which is modest compared to business profits or defense spending, which often benefits private industry)…

    I think you oversimplified the positions taken against scientific information. Certainly, there are notable cases of Republicans opposing an established scientific issue due to business interests, but they also oppose scientific matters when they are related to government imposition on the individual. For instance, a part of the Democratic party opposes vaccination because…

    To those of you who voted for #2, in fact, the Bruce Lee paragraph is the abstract of a talk in the real world that someone actually plans to give! What's amazing about this is that even when you get that sense of satisfaction for getting the correct answer, you also get the accompanying sense of dread that nonsense like this is considered academics by some parts of a university.
