Along with Koh, Cameron is part of the joint program’s inaugural class. Koh says of the early years: “To be honest, the program wasn’t really formulated. I really felt like we were being treated like guinea pigs.” Every so often, students would meet with NEC administrators to flesh out what was and wasn’t working in the program.

But too much praise gives the general public the impression that scientists are all a bunch of Darwin-worshippers. It’s bad enough that books have just been published with titles like Darwin’s Sacred Cause by Adrian Desmond and James Moore, assessing Darwin’s abolitionist tendencies, or Angels and Ages, by Adam Gopnik, which compares Darwin to Lincoln. Worse, these views are often evangelized in the popular press. Even...
