...researchers claim that the genomes of apes and humans are about 99% the same. What about the remaining 1%? If you have ever tried to download a computer program and got only 99% completion, you know that unless you get the final 1%, you will have nothing. That 1% of DNA makes all the difference. The complexity of the human genome exceeds our scientific understanding...

If she wins, she and other members of the class can recoup whatever losses they actually suffered (compensation for a job lost, say, or a mortgage application rejected because of the letter) plus attorneys' fees, and the agency...

...about such a visionary opportunity for scientific innovation, however. Critics suggest that this system allows the rabble to promote “junk science” and argue that scientists will have to wade through a hundred worthless papers to find only one Nobel Prize-winning gem. They also claim that rogue scientists could praise and criticize research in an unfair, un-objective way.
