"There are a number of buckets of money for pest-animal research but there are so many pests now and not enough money to go around," he says. With conservation of the dingo...

Commercial Alert says it fears neuromarketers could "peer into our brains" and control our buying behavior. Joshua Freedman of FKF says such fears are misplaced. "Some people view this like Frankenstein and brain control, but I think that science, by trying to understand what goes on in human brains, should be very freeing by helping...
